02 12 As well as plenty of information <strong>and</strong> ideas to help you make the most of the glorious New Forest – even more glorious as autumn approaches <strong>and</strong> the leaves start to turn colour – this, the third edition of <strong>Lime</strong>wire, profiles several inspiring people: Wasfi Kani, for instance, the founder of Pimlico Opera, a company that stages operas <strong>and</strong> musicals inside prisons <strong>and</strong> has given hundreds of inmates the confidence to do something positive with their lives. And Nell Gifford, whose travelling circus is now a fixture of the summer scene in the West Country. We learn, too, about a remarkable scheme to help women with breast cancer by teaching them fly fishing. As well as the inspirational, we have the aspirational: William Asprey, whose family has been involved in luxury goods for centuries, tells us about his love of fishing, shooting <strong>and</strong> fine wine. And Nick Edmiston reminisces about sailing’s golden age, when classic six-metre yachts from both sides of the Atlantic fought it out for the America’s Cup. Like the guns <strong>and</strong> watches you can buy from Asprey’s shop, William & Son in Mayfair, <strong>and</strong> the yachts available for sale or charter from Edmiston, in St James’s, the beautifully crafted, custom-built motorcycles that Battistinis sell blur the lines between function <strong>and</strong> art: Mark Battistini tells us about the extraordinary pink motorbike he made for Grayson Perry. And, talking of art, we look back at the life <strong>and</strong> work of one of America’s finest <strong>and</strong> most popular artists, Keith Haring, whose fame started with drawings on the New York subway <strong>and</strong> ended with exhibitions all over the world. Plenty to nourish the soul... <strong>and</strong> plenty more tangible nourishment too, whether it’s a pint of craft cider <strong>and</strong> a sausage s<strong>and</strong>wich on the Jurassic Coast, or a box of something lovely for lunch from London’s splendid Street Kitchen!
