A new issue

The latest issue of the magazine has just been delivered. I always like to sit down with a cup of coffee, look through and think about what we did well and what we could improve or do better next time. I am very pleased with our cover this month.

Sam has the cutest dog ever, Lottie (above) who also loved posing for our photographer, Lesley Anne Churchill. This issue also included a piece about Heirloom recipes, which is an idea I started kicking around on the blog a few weeks ago:

Now it's on with the April issue. I love doing the Easter one as there are so many pretty visuals around.
