There’s something special about winter in the Hills, and this week is full of reasons to get out and feel it. From blues and bold bites at to muddy trail runs, cosy roasts, hands-on art sessions, and a sky full of fireworks in Mylor, the season is serving it all!

Set your plans, text your people, and make a moment of it. The Hills are ready when you are.

Got a favourite bookshop story? We want to hear it.

You may have heard we're working on a new podcast. One of the episodes is called “The Bookshop Window”, and we’re inviting you to be part of it!

Send us a short voice memo — just record on your phone, nice and simple — and tell us a story.

Pick one (or answer them all!):

✨ What’s a bookshop you return to — and why? (Maybe it’s a smell, a memory, a person, or just how it makes you feel.)

✨ Tell us about a time you found a book you didn’t know you needed. (Where were you? What was the book? What did it give you?)

✨ What do you remember about your favourite childhood bookshop or library? (The one you still think about, even now.)

✨ What does the act of browsing mean to you? (When do you do it, and what are you looking for — or hoping to stumble across?)

✨ Is there a book that changed how you see the world — or yourself? (What was it, and how did it find you?)

📩 Just record your voice memo on your phone and email it to [email protected]

Make it 30 seconds or 2 minutes — whatever feels right.
We’d love to include your story.

In this week's newsletter edition, I wrote a feature about the wonderful Bridgewater Walking Group. If you're not across it, here it is. I highly recommend joining in if you want to experience the Hills at a pace that lets you really take it all in, accompanied by a wonderful group of people, which makes it even better.

This week: pruning workshops, the Bridgewater walking crew, Mylor’s past, and where to find porchetta by the fire.
