Don’t tell the other magazine issues,<br />
but the <strong>Sep</strong>tember/<strong>Oct</strong>ober is often<br />
one of the most fun editions to<br />
pull together in the year, and that<br />
must have something to do with<br />
<strong>Sep</strong>tember being a favourite month.<br />
Perhaps it is my love of watching<br />
the changing of the seasons in<br />
full swing, with the leaves turning<br />
burnished shades of gold and amber<br />
as summer makes way for autumn.<br />
Or maybe it is autumn’s bounty of<br />
produce filling the farm shops and<br />
the menus of my favourite local<br />
spots. We try to make this edition<br />
evocative of this lovely time and<br />
hope this one is no exception.<br />
Good food is usually top of the<br />
list in this magazine, and we’ve<br />
been spoiled with some wonderful<br />
recipes from James Martin. You<br />
might have caught his latest series,<br />
Islands to Highlands, on TV and<br />
this selection of recipes is straight<br />
from the accompanying book. These<br />
were so tasty that I went out to buy<br />
the book and have been happily<br />
cooking up a best of British menu<br />
ever since.<br />
We’ve all gotten to know the four<br />
walls we call home rather well over<br />
the last six months, and maybe<br />
we’ve discovered that things aren’t<br />
as we’d like them. If you’ve decided<br />
to stay put, we’ve got a lovely piece<br />
on making your home work better<br />
for you, through extensions, glazing<br />
and even using the garden as an<br />
extra room.<br />
Education in the face of COVID<br />
has certainly changed - there won’t<br />
be a need for snow days anymore<br />
with the trialled and tested Zoom<br />
classrooms proving so successful.<br />
The Independent Schools Council<br />
gave us their insights into this longlasting<br />
change.<br />
Finally, lockdown might have given<br />
you a new perspective on retirement<br />
- we get our resident later life<br />
representative (aka my dad Peter)<br />
to give his reflections of life after<br />
lockdown.<br />
Next time we see you it will be...<br />
*whispers* the Christmas issue!<br />
Until then, stay safe, stay well!<br />
