Contents A Note from the EDITOR 31 Guest A Culinary Journey through Northern Ireland bedroom perfection It’s certainly the challenge of publishing that you always have your head in the wrong season - each year, Christmas begins for us in July, which is about the same time as I start to ask my friends and family what they’d like as a present or if they’re free for a meal in December - each year I’m met with the same furrowed brows and a ‘my god, I haven’t started thinking about that yet!’ Forward planning aside, it is a rather lovely, smug feeling to know that I’m mostly sorted for the festivities - my only issue being losing said gifts between July and December 25th. If your industry doesn’t quite prepare you in the same way though, we’ve got a bevy of festive features to help get you prepped. Our competition page returns 04 Alongside Christmas features, we’ve got a lovely interview with The Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen, plus some delicious recipes from her new book. If you’re receiving guests this year, we’ve got some inspiration on creating the perfect guest room sanctuary. And if festive madness all gets too much, you can always slip in there yourself!

The news has been all doom and gloom of late, but I think it’s important that, toy shortage/turkey drama/fuel crisis or not, this year’s Christmas is looking so much brighter than 2020’s, and there’s so much to be thankful for. This quote from the legendary Bob Hope really captured that for me: “My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” We are looking forward to seeing you again in January - we are doing away with the New Year, New You nonsense and instead focusing on what 2022 can offer you. Until then, take care, have a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year. Katie www.minervamagazines.co.uk | 3
