HAPPY 2008 to you all, I hope the year brings lots of laughter, happiness and success.

Most of the BH&G crew are back on board and working frantically towards yet another deadline. (Can you believe we are working on May issue already?)

At least daylight saving is here and we can still maintain ‘holiday mode' after work and head down to the beach or to the park for some afternoon R&R. Perfect for those summer barbies don't you think? And thankfully our February issue is full of lovely (and easy) summer recipes that can be quickly thrown together or barbecued.

And for those of you who need a hand cleaning up after the crazy Christmas period, keep an eye out for the magazine competition that gives you the chance to WIN A CLEANER FOR A WHOLE YEAR (see page 54)!

Good luck and enjoy the magazine.

More from me soon!
