The dark and rainy days of winter are now thankfully behind us, and with the arrival of spring, we are encouraged by both warmer days and the first green shoots of life\u2019s never-ending renewal.  There are advantages to living in a seasonal climate, though they may be hard to appreciate in the depths of December, in that the dark is always followed by the light. Our spring issue, in keeping with that tradition, features stories from new writers in the Wychwoods, our very own green shoots.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this issue, we have the work of our new photographer and storyteller, Maria Yanushevskaya, whose series of short profiles of many of the residents of our villages begins in this edition. We are continuing our series on disappearing crafts with a fascinating story by Mike Palmer, one of the few remaining Master Thatchers in the country. Plus, a thought- provoking essay on the humble Bumble Bee \u2013 a sure harbinger of spring, and much, much more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
