Welcome

With the arrival of spring we’re all feeling that little bit more optimistic, and this is the perfect time to start making plans for the year ahead.

Spring is an ideal time to refresh your interiors. Trends come and go, but creating a cosy home is all about choosing what you love, not what’s fashionable. You’ll find plenty of inspiration on page 14.

If you want to launch the gardening year with a stunning display, fresh whites, lime greens and buttery yellows are the colours that will get the job done, as Adam Appleyard explains on page 30.

With a new season come fresh, new seasonal ingredients, and in ‘Serving up Spring’ on page 68 we showcase some of our excellent local produce, including spring lamb, asparagus, and Yorkshire rhubarb. And on page 78 our ‘Farm to Fork’ feature celebrates the best of British farming. Do remember that you can give a huge helping hand to Dales artisan producers by shopping at your local butcher or farm shop.

We’ll be back with another bumper issue soon. Until then I hope you enjoy our colourful, forward-looking Spring issue, and that you are making the most of the longer, brighter days!
