Love is in the air this month as we celebrate all things romantic in a special Valentine’s issue! Get the love bug with our gorgeous selection of sensuous lingerie, romantic coast and country escapes, beautiful scents for him and her, as well as loving gifts. Although spring isn’t for another month, Valentine’s Day heralds the beginnings of the season and the first school holiday break of the year. Keep the children entertained with our suggestions for half-term, whatever the weather. Any youngster would jump at the chance to spend part of their half-term behind the wheel of a car and deputy editor Amanda O’Hare’s son Alex did just that at Silverstone, the home of British motor sport. Former England and Saints rugby star Ian Hunter is taking part in a Six Nations charity cycle ride and invited us into his unique Northampton home to tell us more. Meanwhile, I got to grips with cupcake baking at a newly launched course in Potterspury. Never mind the love bug, I’ve caught the cupcake bug. Don’t forget to enter our fantastic competition which gives you the chance to have a 1950s-style Hollywood glamour photographic experience worth £500. Good luck! Ruth Supple |
