WINTER at The Artisan Founder
AN EDITOR’S LETTER
The season has settled, and the familiar hush of winter has started to gather around us.
On morning walks the scent of wood smoke hangs low in the air, drifting from cottage chimneys and giving the lanes that comforting, lived-in feel. The dampness of the season leaves you returning home with the kind of fresh-faced glow that only winter can bring.
What remains of summer’s flora and fauna now stands in rigid dried forms, sometimes edged with frost, turning hedgerows into a quiet wonderland.
