Previous months

nolo beer
Craft attitude with punchy artwork and big flavours – this Bath brewery proves alc-free beer can still be juicy, hazy and delish.
choclate
Organic, vegan, refined-sugar free and handcrafted in Bristol, warm up the palate for Easter with these beautiful choc treats.
charcuterie
This new small-batch regenerative charcuterie brand produces the tastiest cuts from heritage-breed pigs that were reared organically. Sign up to its mailing list for deets of its next pop-up.
candle
We stopped in our tracks when entering a shop that was burning La Luna's stunning Evening candle. We snapped up two on the spot and recommend you do the same.
vintage ceramics
*Deep sigh*. This Devon studio, gallery and shop is run by a couple with a good eye for unique finds and vintage treasures.
pottery
Get down to Falmouth, there's a new and exciting potter in town. Louis Domville-Musters' creations are snapped up at a lightning pace, so get on that mailing list or even better, visit his studio IRL.
notebook
Calling all stationery magpies! These gorgeous Seasons of Gratitude passport-size notebooks are a stylish solution for printing-paper offcuts.
cheese
Kudos to Somerset's White Lake for scooping the Super Gold Award at the World Cheese Awards with this beauty, a creamy-yet-tangy pyramid of unpasteurised sheep's milk cheese.
spa
Mid-March sees the long-awaited opening of a spa at this charming Bath hotel. We've been promised a haven of wellbeing and tranquility – no pressure Team Francis.
