Editors Note v17



This Volume Feels Especially Close to Our Hearts

From the very beginning, STONES was created with one purpose, to provide a platform for our community. To celebrate the people, places, and ideas that make our towns and villages such wonderful places to live, work, and explore.

We’ve always believed that creativity and connection sit at the centre of everything we do, and Celebration & Community captures that perfectly. This edition is about the moments that bring us together: shared tables, familiar faces, local shops glowing with festive charm, and the warmth of supporting those around us.

As ever, our pages are filled with stories that reflect the best of where we live. From discovering new dining spots and gifting ideas, to exploring cosy winter interiors and celebrating the first harvest at Newsell’s Winery, it’s a reminder that there’s always something inspiring to uncover, right on our doorstep.

Here’s to local stories, shared moments, and a season full of community.
