A note from the editor
The lyrics of a well-known modern song proclaim: “I want it all, and I want it now.” While this might be the epitome of selfishness, it does hint at the magazine you have in your hands, simply because our magazine contains so much: adverts for local services, articles about the past, about our environment, about notable individuals and, of course at this time of year, about Christmas in the Wychwoods, not forgetting a warming set of centre page photos entitled ‘Getting together.’
Our theme is ‘Change’ so readers can discover how our gardens are changing, what is changing down on the farm in an entertaining article by Mike Hartley and what changes when winter arrives in our woodlands.
Other items have nothing to do with change but everything to do with engaging our readers. Did you know that we have two budding local authors whose work has recently hit the press? Did you know that Glynn Allsop was at the Paris Olympic Games, but not, perhaps, in the capacity you were expecting? And what on earth has Deborah, the Duchess of Devonshire, got to do with the Wychwood Magazine?
As you would expect, Christmas features highly in this issue. As well as information about a diverse range of church services, with something for everyone, readers can get creative with Charlie Loader’s gourmand festive soup recipe or make their own Christmas wreath.
So sit back, turn the pages and you will have it all, and have it now.
