The People's Friend Special Magazine

2 March 2022

The People's Friend Special - Issue 222 - March heralds the start of spring, and our new Special is full of inspiring ideas to get you out and about. Polly Pullar is in the Scottish Borders, finding out about a conservation success story at Carrifran Wildwood, Lorna Cowan follows the Thomas Hardy Trail in Dorset and Bill Gibb discovers author Beatrix Potter’s farming legacy in the Lake District. We celebrate much-loved TV hospital dramas through the years, catch up with talented mouth painter Rosaleen Moriarty Simmonds and visit sunny Gibraltar with Dianne Boardman. All that, plus eight pages of puzzles and brainteasers, 14 original short stories by favourite authors, recipes for no-bake cakes and cosy throws to knit and crochet for your home, and lots more, too!
