Contents A Note from the EDITOR 20 Guest A Culinary Journey through Northern bedroom Ireland inspiration “There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees–as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again.” – Ruth Ahmed There is something so special about this time of year - it has a grounding effect which forces us to consider the passage of time and the tangible changes around us. As the hues of the trees shape our landscape, we settle down into the embrace of those cooler, darker evenings - a sense of quietude before the inevitable Christmas rush begins. Our competition page returns 04 We hope this edition makes a good companion to a cosy evening or a peaceful morning with a cuppa. We couldn’t resist the opportunity to carb load here with an interview with west country expert baker (via France!) Richard Bertinet - sorry not sorry to have you reaching for that bread and butter... 10 Editor Katie Thomson e katie.thomson@minervapublications.co.uk Baking legend Richard Bertinet Publisher Sally Thomson Pre-press Manager Kate Norris Contributors Peter Thomson, Sue Cooke, Matthew Biggs, Angela Cave, Front cover courtesy of Richard Haughton/Raymond Gubbay Ltd Key Account Manager Laura Rodney e laura@minervapublications.co.uk t 01225 984501 twitter: @W<strong>Dorset</strong><strong>Living</strong> 14 Comfort food dishes MINERVA PUBLICATIONS HQ Paxcroft Farm, Hilperton, Trowbridge BA14 6JB t 01225 984 550 w www.minervamagazines.co.uk visit our website www.minervamagazines.co.uk Disclaimer: The publishers shall not be held liable for any loss occasioned by failure of an advertisement to appear, or any damage or inconvenience caused by errors, omissions and misprints.

This lovely chat falls alongside some delicious recipes and some inspiration for the home and garden - this issue we are focusing on getting the guest bedroom in ship shape ahead of welcoming visitors this Christmas - well, fingers and toes crossed we will have them this year - bet you never thought you’d think that! It wouldn’t be right to have an edition without one of our most popular pages - the competitions! You can enter all the ones listed on the page, plus some web-exclusives at minervamagazines.co.uk - you can also opt into being the first to hear about new giveaways when they are launched. We are looking forward to seeing you again in December, where we will be unapologetically thrusting you into the Christmas swing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Until then, take care and enjoy this issue. Katie www.minervamagazines.co.uk | 3
