We enjoyed a rare treat this week, with a trip out to our friend and local artist, Anita Bowerman's studio at The Dove Tree Art Gallery in Harrogate.

A brilliant mix of fun and professionalism herself, In Group member and photographer, Steph Simmons was recently passed the brief by advertising agency, Ewe, to help to re-launch the new range and website of equestrian clothing retailers, Tottie.

Local wine merchants joined in with the Tour de France celebrations here in Yorkshire last weekend. With thousands visiting Harrogate, Ake and Humphris put on a Festival of Wine at their store on Leeds Road, opening their doors and setting out chairs and tables for an event where customers could try wines by the glass from around the world.
