“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” ~ Edith Sitwell
“There are adventures of the spirit and one can travel in books and interest oneself in people and affairs. One need never be dull as long as one has friends to help, gardens to enjoy and books in the long winter evenings.” ~ D. E. Stevenson.
As this coming festive season will undoubtedly be very different than what we are all used to, the staff at Fellowship and Fairydust have decided to change things up too. This year, instead of just the customary single-themed issue of our magazine, we will also be putting out this Winter newsletter. To make room for both, the traditional themed issue has been moved to late January – when we could all use a little pick-me-up – and this Newsletter is taking a more interactive approach, hopefully helping you all to get into the festive spirit, and providing a much-needed distraction to all of our current worries. We hope you enjoy it and that you spend a safe and comfortable end to the year, with a view of a far better 2021 to come.
With Warmth and Blessings,
~ The Staff of Fellowship and Fairydust
