It's also a great time of year to get out in the garden and Leigh Clapp offers a great guide to growing your own ingredients beginning on page 120. She's toured the county to ask experts such as James Sellick of Pashley Manor and Jane Dunn from Rushlake Green for their tips and tasty seasonal recipes. And finally, do please keep your thoughts coming on the magazine and the things you'd like to see us feature. We've printed a lively Feedback page in this issue and we'd love to read more of your letters. You can email me, join the forum at or if you're on the move, take advantage of our new text message facility - look out for it on pages 95, 209, 223, 247, 248 and 257.

Enjoy your Sussex Life.
