Welcome to Winter 2026!

Sit back with some mulled wine maybe a mince pie or some polish kolaczki and enjoy our round up of the year and some things to look forward to. You could destress with some fermented food or listen to the newly founded Orchestra Session. As Christmas is a time for children catch up on the latest words from Little Fishes and Badger Farm Preschool and Jo has shared her nostalgia for the Polish christmases of her childhood.

Wendy gives us the lowdown on the folklore of blackberries, wasps and some visiting longtailed tits.

There is lots more going on so enjoy the latest copy and catch up on the local news.
