Welcome to this issue of ‘RURAL POST’

This is an e-mail newsletter extension of the RURAL - Jersey Country Life magazine.
The earlier issues of this newsletter can be viewed at www.ruraljersey.co.uk/rural-post

It is not quite RURAL magazine, but….
… there is always quite a long gap between the quarterly issues of the magazine, so this helps, as best we can, to fill the gap in between.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

We welcome photographs from readers that illustrate the changing year in agriculture and the countryside. We can credit the photographer or else they can be sent anonymously if preferred.

The daffodil picture was taken by Przemyslaw Podstawka; the potato planters by RURAL magazine photographic editor, Gary Grimshaw.
