Toasted sourdough and syrup-drenched pancakes also seem to be the order of the day – what’s happened to the traditional bacon butty? Do write in and share your favourite weekend brunch dish. Finally, in our culture pages, I got the chance to chat with the coaches training the Cambridge University Boat Club rowing teams, who are gearing up for The Boat Race this month (page 36).

There are culinary Easter treats to savour too – wine tastings and hot cross buns, arts and crafts fairs and a punt while you hunt event – so there’s something for everyone.

Congratulations to all our category winners and to athlete-campaigner Mary Twitchett, who has won the prestigious Community Hero award. If you also want to be in the running to win something this month: how about entering our competition to win two weekend camping tickets to the Red Rooster Festival worth £299, over on page 51. This
