Editorial
The British have a fascination with the weather; remembering ‘The Beast from the East’ and a heatwave all within the past 12 months, this is no surprise. This issue of the magazine will feed that fascination as Mike Hartley recounts the impact of the weather on farming, Tony Lewis, in his own inimical style, reports on the impact on gardens and allotments and, last but by no means least, John Miskin whets the appetite of readers as he prepares us for a comparison of 1976, the famous drought year, and the summer of 2018. John has kept weather records for many years, including those two, so he will compare them more fully in our next issue.
These three writers have all made contributions to the magazine in the past, so it is good to recognize the input of comparatively new writers who have written about subjects as diverse as Kingham station, a much-loved musician and even the milkman, which all goes to show that anyone can write about a subject that interests them.
If this all sounds too parochial, you can read about local residents with distant connections – the vicar who lived in Uruguay and the doctor who rejoiced among the flower garlands of the Solomon Islands.
There really is something for everybody in The Wychwood Magazine.
