May Scrapbook Special Edition

David Parker April 23, 2020

We were INSPIRED when it came to making our new May issue. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. You’ve been telling us (and we love to hear it) that The Simple Things offers some respite from stress, worry and boredom during this difficult time, so we set ourselves the task to fill the magazine with even more comfort, calm and cheer than usual. It’s a homemade scrapbook of our best work and favourite features that we think will help right now. And it is literally homemade, edited and designed by the team from our kitchen tables, sofas and bedrooms.

So what’s inside? Here’s a list that might tick your boxes…

Storecupboard cooking

Garden wildlife

Baking bread

Veg patch advice

Crafternoons

Ways to feel better

Bedtime stories

Plenty of Ideas for slowing down, enjoying what you have and making the most of where you live.
PLUS A 12-page compendium of puzzles, games, amazing facts and forgotten wisdom.

Our May Scrapbook Edition is available now for pre-order to be sent out from Monday 27 April, so you’ll get it delivered to your door before it officially goes on sale. We hope you enjoy it.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
