With the weather changing already, this season’s catwalk is full of ideas on how to keep warm with added sophistication.
For Philip and Esther Shoebridge, transforming Melton Ross Hall into a family home has been a labour of love.

Pottery and china wares by the company Doulton are a regular feature of most auctions. The company has been producing a varied selection of stoneware and china for some one hundred and sixty years, much of which is still highly collected today. The company began with functional stonewares and then in the late 1860s, in a response to fashion and trade exhibitions, started to produce more decorative items such as vases, ewers, jardinières and figures.
The story of my long-lost friend Sergent George Kesten, published in ‘Lincolnshire Life’ as a two-part serial in March and April this year, produced an astonishing response from Rabbi Norbert Aronson in Manchester.
There is always something special about August. Perhaps it is the start of the season’s change, perhaps it is the last few weeks of what we can really call the British summer. Maybe it’s because it is the school holidays and therefore the time when many people are relaxing on holiday. However, as far as these pages are concerned, August is special because it is the start of perhaps the most famous of shooting seasons and a chance to enjoy some sport before the weather becomes public enemy No 1. If your plans are to be out and about in August, may we wish you happy shooting!
