In this month's issue:
• It's a bugger's muddle. A swift look at the baking aisle in your local supermarket will tell you that the UK egg industry is in crisis.
• Never been to the races? Me neither … and my first visit to a racecourse – on a windblown and wet November day in Wincanton – wasn’t at all what I expected
• The BV’s Andrew Livingston remembers his mentor, BAFTA-winning writer, chef and, most of all, fisherman Nick Fisher, who passed away this month
• Frankincense and more. Global brand Neal’s Yard Remedies has its home in Gillingham – with many ingredients grown here in Dorset.
• More than just a famous name – hidden away in a fold of Cranborne Chase outside Shaftesbury, Gritchie Brewery is crafting a fine reputation
• TV presenter Alice Plunkett takes on the Random 19 questions
•Self-taught wood-turners 84-year-old Peter Thomas and 70-year-old Trevor Ball have turned retirement into a new career
