welcome letter Julian Wilkinson
Managing Director
As a brisk winter turns to spring, so too do our thoughts turn to more colourful gardens, to longer days, blue skies and afternoons spent in the sunshine.
Before the merciless rays of sunshine in high summer render us too hot and bothered, now really is the ideal time to make the most of all that Rutland has to offer for a sunny afternoon out.
Production Director
Ian Bagley
This month, we’re keen advocates of getting out and about to explore spring gardens like those on the Easton and Burghley estates. You’ll find a roundup of our favourite places to celebrate spring on our gardening pages later in this edition.

Also in this edition we’ll meet Stamford’s remarkable Emily Carter who, whilst juggling a career with Knightsbridge’s luxury retailer Harrods, has designed and made a collection of beautiful silk scarves sold in some of the most exclusive retailers in London, Paris and the US.
Advertising Director
If you’re a fan of horses, you may also want to attend some of the county’s eventing fixtures. Gaby Vaughan will be competing at several in the area this month, and talks to us about her hopes for an appearance at the 2018 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in Autumn too.
Finally, we’re profiling the best places to give mum a Mothering Sunday treat with high tea, and we’ve an enjoyable visit to Hambleton Hall on our dining out pages too. Our best wishes for a wonderful month,
Emily Brown
