A new decade doubles the odds of a shake-up. By the time you read this summer will be in full swing, holidays will be here and you’ll be ready for the New Year. Likely you’ll be making resolutions and undoubtedly some of these will revolve around your house and garden. I’m hoping the January issue of your favourite magazine offers the inspiration you’re looking for. We’re hooked on seasonal food so you’ll find seafood and stone fruit recipes that are both delicious and easy. Plan your year ahead with our selection of calendars, diaries and more – all designed to get 2020 off to a smooth start. The January issue comes with our special NZ House & Garden calendar, in association with Resene, which is a lovely way to mark the year. Our Special Feature is packed with ideas and tips, along with new products, to help you to finally get your dream bathroom and laundry. And, if it’s a different holiday you’re after, check out our update of festivals around the world worth visiting. We’re always trying to bring you a variety of home styles from across the country, and we’re forever chasing those show-stopping houses that produce an audible gasp as you turn the pages. Lynne and Rob Hammond’s French-inspired Blenheim homestead is one such beauty. Lynne’s solid resolve, along with her appetite for renovating and eye for a bargain are behind this almost a century old farmhouse’s grandeur. Oh, and Rob’s willingness to go along for the ride. You have the chance to visit this treasure-filled delight as part of the NZ House & Garden House Tours in Blenheim on March 13 and 14. See [nzhouseandgardentours.co.nz]( for details. Happy Holidays!
