It ’ s spring !
Spring is my favourite season in Winchester , with parks and gardens bursting into flower and warmer days encouraging winers and diners to go alfresco .
After weeks of lockdown , we ’ re looking forward to seeing the city back to its usual cheery self again . One of our favourite weekend activities is to browse the Sunday arts and crafts market , picking up inspiration along the way before heading on for a pub lunch somewhere with lots of space outside to soak up some sunshine .
People are at the heart of this issue . Nearly every one of our editorial pages features someone local who is doing something really brilliant – from inspirational people doing their day job to community heroes who have made a difference to others .
Through your generosity in responding to our Facebook appeals we ' ve helped to drop off thousands of your donated treats and drinks to support Covid-contact NHS staff – to the hospital , at testing sites , at Winchester Prison , at GP surgeries and to the ambulance service . You ’ ll see pages and pages of pictures of your giving and others ’ community initiatives at the back of the magazine .
It ’ s only because of your support and the support of our advertisers that we have Winchester Magazine . The resilience of the many local businesses who have continued , in the most difficult circumstances , to carry on with a smile spurs us on too .
Buying local – whether it is advertising with us or buying from our advertisers – not only supports the local economy but also boosts the people behind the brands . If we have learnt anything from the pandemic , it is the importance of community . We hope that shines through our pages .
