FRESH STARTS S eptember always has the feel of a fresh start; the seasons shift, and the beginning of a new term carries a sense of promise and possibility. In our education feature, we dive into the back-to-school season and speak with the leading local educators seeking to ease the transition for pupils. Elsewhere, if you’re looking for a bit of a mental reset, then check out our interview with fantastic author Oliver Burkeman (page 12) as he discusses his latest book Meditations for Mortals . Enjoy a restorative getaway with our extensive round-up of staycations to add to your bucket list, both within the region and further afield, try a change of clothes with our autumn fashion special or have a go at mastering a new recipe on page 32.
