Hello readers Happy New Year!

I hope the new year brings us all peace, happiness and most importantly good health.

I must apologize for the mix up with the crossword in the last issue. We inadvertently published the crossword and the solution in the same issue. To overcome this we are still giving away the £20 prize but have included all entrants and all those that contacted us to tell us what we had done.

The recipe in this issue is for Spring Lamb Stew. Wonderful at this time of year and so easy to make. You’ll find it on page 26.

If you are organising an event in April or May (or later in the year) please do get in touch with us and we will happily add it to the Whats On page. Since COVID we are not being made aware of events as we did. Please tell your friends or we may lose the page!

Take care til next time, Rachel 4
