INTRODUCTION

Editor’s Welcome

Travel expeditions in Britain

are full of surprises. From

the vineyard tasting tour,

where you just have to buy

a bottle to take home

(Tinwood’s English

sparkling wine Blanc de

Blancs, £29 didn’t stay in

my cupboard for long) to

the luxury hotel you stay

in where the shower gel

is so divine you must buy

it (Noble Isle’s Tea Rose,

first discovered during an

overnight stay at Fingal,

Edinburgh’s luxury floating

hotel, for example).

Jessica

Do you know someone who

would love to have their

own life story turned into a

beautifully published book?

Turn to page 14.

If you are looking for ways

to become a more ecoconscious

traveller then

you will love our sustainable

eco-gifts, p18. Add a touch

of effortless glamour to

your laid-back holiday vibe

with our selection of Luxury

Leisure gifts, p22 and enjoy

our selection of the finest

festive refreshments, p29. ◆
