It’s time for you to CHILLAX!
I do hope our fabulous front cover brought a smile to your face! Knowing what an animal lover our columnist
Caroline Quentin is, we decided we’d have some fun and bring a couple of four-legged friends along to our recent photoshoot with her. The three of them, and all of us, had an absolute blast and disproved the old adage that you should never work with animals.
Like Caroline, most of you either have a pet or want one, so I hope you enjoy our Animal Magic Special.
It makes sense, too, as there’s now loads of research to show that having contact with pets is really good for us, resulting in longer, healthier, happier lives.
Something else that’s good for us is a bit of time to ourselves, and we’ve found the perfect place for this: a‘she shed’! There’s a growing trend for women to have an ‘outhouse’ in which to indulge their passions, be that sewing, painting, planting or writing. We found three stylish sheds to provide you with inspiration.
With a succession of long weekends coming up, there’s the promise of some time out and, whatever your pleasure, we’ve got ideas for you. Having the gang round? Check out our great food for friends. Going out? Don’t miss our advice on dressing up. And even if all you want to do is chillax, look no further
– we’ve got some great reading for you to enjoy over a cuppa!
