In this issue

Wiltshire Life’s February issue is a real mix of delights. We’ve got startling pictures of the lifesize elephant bull that has arrived in Liddington Coombe, with sculptor David Lomax creating a nerve-tingling tale of his first glimpse of him; Lesley Bates finds out what’s in store at Salisbury Cathedral for the year ahead; and Simon Heptinstall writes a (lighthearted) article about Wiltshire’s north-south divide. We look ahead again, as we meet inventor James Dyson, while Sarah Church, of the Save Swindon’s Libraries campaign, writes on the loss of 10 of Swindon’s libraries. Down Your Way is in Swindon, Village Life is in Biddestone and Robert Harvey is on the trail of the majestic yew tree. Free with this issue is a 44-page Retirement Living and Care Guide, which is packed with information on retirement living, independent living, financing and choosing care and dementia. We hope you enjoy this bright start to the new year.
