Issue 78 

salisbury_78_cover.jpg

This Spring edition of Salisbury Life has yet another stunner of a cover – it’s a  wonderful night shot of a very grand neo-classical development of houses in the shadow of Wardour Castle in Timsbury. Impressed, Mary Moss likened the courtyard to one of those “hidden piazzas in a sleepy European town”.


The other properties that feature in this edition seem, coincidentally, to be stable-based: we have The Stables, The Paddocks and The Old Stables, all covetable, especially if you are horsey!

Alongside our usual editorial features (fashion, food, restaurant review, gardening and lots more), Laura Rowe has some great ideas on how to transform our interiors with tribal prints and retro chic. Yes, it’s another fine edition of Salisbury’s greatest little mag!

  

Issue 77 

salisbury_77_cover.jpg

Mary Moss was charmed by the Regency house that we feature as our cover property in this issue of Salisbury Life – Alfords in Swallowcliffe is a former farmhouse with its original features intact, an old bakery, complete with old ovens and a flagstone floor that could be converted into a wonderful studio, an old stable, and enviable gardens. It makes a delightful prospect for any potential purchaser, especially as it is situated in the sought-after Nadder Valley, close to mainline railway communications to London.
To celebrate Spring in all its glory, garden designer Julia Brigdale focuses on this season’s stars such as the hellebores and cyclamen, while Vicky Green has been exploring the Languedoc, enjoying wine and jazz in equal measure. Joe Woodward, meanwhile, has been allowed to try out the new Mini Clubman for us, and our Salisbury Life is Guy Cragoe, a local photographer who specialises in fun pics of weddings, people and, even, children and animals.

  

Issue 76

A Salisbury woman has brought a great idea for keeping troublesome tots busy and happy: Little Kickers teaches both boys and girls the  joys of teamwork, listening and running about with a football. It’s been so successful that Sarah Warrington is proposing to expand the sessions outside the city.

Our gardening pages are, as usual, beautiful, this time a look by Heather Green at an inspirational book on what you can do with trees – ideas leap off the page and should get you in the mood for Spring.
