COBHAM & ESHER | WINTER 2026

Welcome to a brand New Year – 2026 brings adventure, excitement and a lots to look forward to!

This double issue is packed with exciting ideas and features for you to read. Personally I am going to be a ’Nanny’ in January to a little boy so we have put together a feature for mums to be – all about preparing for the birth, what to pack and where to go online for advice as well as an interview with SJ Strum who is a baby name expert on This Morning TV and can inspire you!

Read all about our lovely Yummy Mummy cover girl, business woman Jodie Care who is not only a working mum but also wife to Rugby player Danny Care – find out what local activities tick their family boxes. If you are feeling a bit like you want to hibernate…check out our wonderful book reviews from The Cobham Bookshop and invest in some quality reading.

Are you a romantic at heart? If so, take a look at our fabulous Valentine interiors feature and get your loved one’s hearts thumping with ideas for candlelit togetherness, love vouchers and personal gifts! As usual, there is such a wide variety of interesting local content and a calendar of events for you to browse which will see you through the next few months.

We will be back in March with a special issue featuring Michaela Strachan and her one woman show to kick start the spring season – don’t miss it!

As always, do let us know your news…as, we love to hear from you and find out what’s going on in your neighbourhood.

Best Wishes,
