February is the month of love.

Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, which gives you a whole weekend to spend with your loved one. With this in mind, we’ve brought you a whole host of ideas for where you can treat that someone special for an extra special meal in the Newport area. And thinking ahead, you could also plan for Mother’s Day in early March and even Easter.

Our main focus in this issue in the Admiral City of Newport Half Marathon which comes back to the city its fourth outing on March 6 this year. We’ve caught up with a couple of people who are currently training to take part in the event and we also chatted to the SWNTM winner Emily Peacock who is planning on volunteering on the day.

I’m doing the same and looking forward to being a marshal for the fourth year running. It’s been great to see the half marathon grow in popularity over the years and I really enjoy feeling a part of such a brilliant event. Maybe you could be a volunteer on the day as well. I’ll see you there.

Enjoy...
