We rewarded our enigmatic Library Editor Mr Aitken for a year of fine articles by twisting his arm and asking him to delve into the murky world of Tinder with amusing consequences. Our Bar and Pantry Editors Alex and Leila enjoyed the slightly more enviable task of respectively supping cognac and sampling the delights of the Suffolk food scene. Verity sought out wallpaper maker and screen printer Daniel Heath in The Workshop and Gordon got ready for the onslaught of the British winter by visiting Neil Starr of North Sea Clothing and sampled his knitwear inspired by the submariners of the British Navy.
