INTRODUCTION 

Editor’s Welcome 

Travel expeditions in Britain 

are full of surprises. From 

the vineyard tasting tour, 

where you just have to buy 

a bottle to take home 

(Tinwood’s English 

sparkling wine Blanc de 

Blancs, £29 didn’t stay in 

my cupboard for long) to 

the luxury hotel you stay 

in where the shower gel 

is so divine you must buy 

it (Noble Isle’s Tea Rose, 

first discovered during an 

overnight stay at Fingal, 

Edinburgh’s luxury floating 

hotel, for example).
