Hello, all being well at the printers and the mailing house, the summer issue of The Westonbirt Magazine should be with you from 8th May.

I have said before that a fundraiser’s life is never boring… and this weekend was no exception.

I've been really looking forward to starting work at Westonbirt and this first week has certainly lived up to expectations.

The sun has come out and the weather has warmed up - and most importantly, the spring colour has bounced into life!...

Westonbirt’s bright pink symbol of spring – the 24 metre tall Magnolia sprengeri ‘Diva’ has finally flowered - a month later than last year due to the cold start to spring.

People say "funny kind of spring, isn't it?" to which I usually reply, "Not really, just like all of them, different from any other!" That's just the way it is in this part of the world.
