Ooh, I don't normally get this magazine  but I'm intrigued. Off to the newsagents in the morning I think  :D

Don't rush out just yet, I'm told its only gone to subscribers so far. Wednesday will be your first chance to buy it off the shelf I think! I can't take too much credit for the writing, I just had long chats with one of their journalists, she turned it in to proper sentences!
The good news is that if you like it, there should be a few more of them as they followed us all last year for a 'year in the life of a community farm' so we should be in again!

Well done Ben, it must be difficult having people watching your ups and downs, especially the disastrous year most of us had last year with  the weather.
Should we ask for autographs now before you are famous  ;D

( I'll wait until Wednesday before buying just to make sure I get the right copy  ;) )

Yes thats true i was given a subscription as a birthday present, its not a bad magazine but a bit glamping/rosie tinted version of smallholding! Some nice recipes and things to make in it.

Not as well organised as you might think! And I have to say their photographer was brilliant - it was really nice to see pictures of sun and grass and all the other things that we've been missing over the last few months!

Just to confirm, I popped in to WHSmiths this morning and you can buy the April edition of Country Living off the shelf right now - so do rush out and buy a copy!

I did pick one up today but it was in a plastic bag so I couldn't look through it and the front page didn't appeal to me enough to pay £3.90.  I'll see if there's one in the library.
