There’s something about eating outdoors that’s peculiarly good for us. Maybe it’s the fresh air, the connection with nature, the sunshine on our skin (hopefully), or simply the change of scenery. In her regular column, chef Miranda Gore Browne waxes lyrical about her own family traditions of grabbing ‘food-laden plates’ and heading outdoors for supper under the sun. She’s also got some handy and rather delicious-looking ideas for BBQs and picnics, including tarragon chicken with green summer veg and a summer berry shortbread cobbler. Although the shifting moods of the British weather can make al fresco eating a bit of a challenge, let’s hope we can break the mould and enjoy the opportunity this summer.

Elsewhere, this edition has a 25-page history special looking at subjects as diverse as unlocking the secrets of British heraldry, rope-making, historic houses and we go behind-the-scenes at the fascinating Keighley and Worth Valley vintage railway.

Meanwhile, the unhappy saga of the family farm tax continues, with the NFU steadfast in its call for a compromise that doesn’t jeopardise the food-producing engine of the rural economy.
