Comfort, Curiosity & Getting Through February

February tends to slow us down and quietly hint at a reset. This issue goes with that feeling. It’s about comfort, small improvements, and getting through the last stretch of winter without overthinking it.

Local brings a feel-good mix of the familiar and the nostalgic. Chesney Hawkes announcing his March 2026 UK tour dates is a reminder that some things still make us smile and give us something to look forward to.

In Business Matters, we look at the small choices that make a big difference. From better follow-ups to confident pricing, plus practical flooring advice from Thorner Flooring and a clear update on HMRC’s use of technology from Franks Accountants.

Home & Garden focuses on spaces that feel good to live in. From soft furnishings and quick resets to period property advice from Renton & Parr, it’s all about comfort over perfection. There’s also garden inspiration from Camilla Grayley, plenty of plant love, and an Audi Q3 enjoying a polished moment thanks to Encore Customs.

Health & Wellness keeps things gentle, exploring winter energy, sleep, and whether it’s your hair or just the weather with HQ Hair Lounge. No fixing, just honest check-ins.

Over in Food & Drink, comfort is key. There’s coffee that helps you pretend you slept well from Dancing Goat Coffee, cosy recipes, and the reassuring idea that Valentine’s Day is best enjoyed without cooking.

Read it your way.

This issue isn’t about doing more, just feeling a bit better where you are.
