Welcome to <strong>J’AIME</strong><br />
Here at <strong>J’AIME</strong> HQ we’re preparing to celebrate the<br />
most wonderful time of the year in style, ready to indulge<br />
in all of those festive treats which we, along with most of<br />
the world, missed out on last time around.<br />
The spectacular panto season is back in full swing, and<br />
we catch up with the cast of the Lichfield Garrick’s<br />
All New Peter Pan for a sneaky look at what they have<br />
in store, while Byron Lewis from Lichfield Garden<br />
Centre shares his top tips for getting the most out of<br />
your Christmas tree, and Staffordshire sommelier<br />
extraordinaire Bert Blaize shares some delicious ideas for<br />
festive food and drinks pairings.<br />
Our Shop Local gift guide is back with some more<br />
fabulous ideas from local retailers and companies, while<br />
our resident beauty expert Deborah Mitchell showcases<br />
some pampering treats. And we can finally get our festive<br />
gladrags back on for party season, so we round up some<br />
sparkling buys to ensure you’re the belle of the ball for<br />
every Christmas event.<br />
Elsewhere, we chat to the team behind Lichfield’s Repair<br />
and Share Cafe about their mission to encourage people<br />
to repair and reuse rather than replace, and we have a<br />
fantastic competition for all those dog-lovers out there,<br />
with a bundle of goodies for your four-legged friend up<br />
for grabs.<br />
It wouldn’t be the festive season without some foodie<br />
treats, and we’ve got a couple of corkers. Two-time<br />
Michelin starred chef Niall Keating talks to us about<br />
his new Staffordshire venture, while we take a look at<br />
one of Lichfield’s most exciting culinary experiences at<br />
Dubberley Delicious.<br />
