Welcome to our winter edition!

We hope this will be an inspirational accompaniment to your cosy evening as the nights draw in. A lot changes over half a year, nature looks and feels wildly different compared to the last time we sent you our news, yet there is also a constancy... some new developments, some predictable features...
