Hi there!

I’ve been biding my time and saving my pennies, ready for the first whiff of cold weather and an excuse to re-style the living room! My parents and I restored the fireplace back in April (we bought this place together), so it’s been standing idle all this time. I’ve already found a super-comfy armchair to put alongside Pa Richmond’s shabby old recliner next to the fire. All I need now is a rug, cushions, a throw and a teeny-tiny side table to stand a glass of wine on, and I’ll be ready for a winter of box sets and curling up with the cat. I’ve spotted loads of bits in this issue to add to my wish list. Some of them will be ‘falling’ into my trolley on the weekly shop, because Tesco has a new, covetable range called Fox & Ivy – see p18. Enjoy a cosy winter at home!
