Timeless taste
I’ve been buying your magazine for years, and
when we moved in with my daughter following
my husband’s recent stroke, we brought along
15 years’ worth of Garden and Home issues
we couldn’t bear to get rid of.
Being retired, we can’t afford to buy it as often as we
used to, but the ideas and tips never seem to date. We
have a bookshelf full of mags with gardening advice
my husband still uses year after year.
I also enter the competitions whenever I can. Many years ago I won a trip to
Mowana Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe, and I’ll always treasure those memories.

SPRING INSPIRATION
Thank you for all
the inspiration in
your ‘Spring into
action’ article in
the September
issue. I’ve been
planning to fix up
my townhouse,
but the thought
of it terrifies me,
and I don’t know
where to start!
I always enjoy
paging through the amazing refurbishments
in your pages. Keep up the excellent advice.

ARMCHAIR
OWNERSHIP
Over the past 40 years, I’ve
owned and created many
houses, including a smallholding
where we built our own home
and few cottages, a large family
home, a townhouse and a
110-year-old guest house. After
all this, I’ve stopped and am
finally able to relax.
When I read Garden and Home,
I can continue to dream without
worrying about renovators, costs,
workers and stretched budgets,
and there’s no dust or noise
between your pages!
This is armchair home
ownership at its best.

On Facebook, Stassina Mihalitsianos says:
“I don’t even want to calculate the number of
years I’ve been getting your magazine. I think
it’s one of the best mags in the world – I even
buy them to put at work for the customers to
read. Keep it up!”
