NOVEMBER 2024 THE MAGAZINE OF LIFESTYLES , INTERESTS & LEISURE
Cover : AmericanThanksgiving by Meg Griffiths . Meg had been featured in a previous issue and with the weather events that have taken place this has put many people in hardship . As the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday approaches we thought what better way to show thanks by showcasing Megs work which had a family from Cuba open their doors and share the bounty of food and friends .
