Contents A Note from the editor Hello Spring – I’ve been waiting for your arrival like a lovelorn maiden, excitedly hopping out of bed to look out the window for signs of new life and sunny skies. I know that in recent years March weather has been…unpredictable, but nevertheless I’m hopeful and cheery. A Culinary is nearly Journey here, through so we celebrate Northern 19Easter with a weekend Irelandof recipes! Avid readers might remember reading about my new year’s pledge last issue – to walk, run or cycle 5km every day of 2020. Not having a bike, or access to a stationary one continues to be slightly problematic, but apart from a particularly grim night during a storm (I can’t remember which given name, we’ve had so many of late), I’ve done it! I’m not sure yet if I’m fitter or slimmer, but I’ve really enjoyed carving little moments out of my usually hectic day to go for a head-clearing walk. It’s never too late to start! In this issue... Fabulous UK staycations 04 What’s On As spring comes into its swing we touch on the best local events for the whole family 14 Easter Gifts 25 Not just chocolate (though there is just a little bit...), we check out some lovely Easter present ideas 17 Mitch Tonks We catch up with the renowned fish chef on where his passions lie and his love of his community 22 Foodie Santa Barbara We journey to the Golden State of California to sample the famous Santa Barbara food scene 28 Amazing Glazing Architectural glazing elevates any home - we explore the best investments and new technologies 44 Care Needs How to stay happy and healthy in your autumn years and identifying care needs when they arise 10 Alan Titchmarsh Bathroom 30 & Tile Guide Editor Katie Thomson e katie.thomson@minervapublications.co.uk Publisher Sally Thomson Pre-Press Manager Kate O’Connell Contributors Rebecca Williams, Peter Thomson, Sue Cooke, Matthew Biggs Angela Cave, Lucy Saunders and Pete Lawrence.

There’s also lots to look forward to in the calendar, with some of our favourite attractions opening again. Continuing the foodie note, we have an interview with top Devon chef Mitch Tonks – you’ll probably recognise him from a supremely popular show he presented with rugby star Matt Dawson a few years back – he’s a titan in the fish industry and is passionate about sustainability. We caught up with him to discuss his role in creating a community feel and growing his business. That, plus some fantastic interviews and a bumper crop of home inspiration, makes this issue a great read. We will see you back in May!
