Our Cover

Hurrah for spring! And not before time, either. Rain and more rain and whopping great frosts made this winter the worst for about 20 years, according to people who can remember that far back. But at last spring is here, and what typifies spring more than a host of golden daffodils? The pretty wee lass is Suzie Sigglekow, of Brightwater, and the daffodils she's holding are from the commercial garden at Mr Clarrie Andrews, Brightwater.
