Peggy joined one of our young reporter workshops earlier this year and shared a story about her pet dog Dora. 

After joining one of our young reporter workshops this year, Govanhill resident Nara wanted to write about what to do when you are bored in the winter holidays. 

As the days get colder we need something to keep us cosy and distract us from the bitterness of winter. What better way than making a heartwarming winter warmer?

The changing seasons in the holiday period mixed with the year coming to an end gives us time to reflect on our worlds and life’s rhythms. Staff writer Devon reflects on the changing seasons through these dark winter evenings.

With the annual celebration beginning tonight at sundown, Melanie Goldberg looks into the history of the tradition in Govanhill

It’s that time of year again, the holidays are around the corner and all the big retailers are getting ready for the busiest time of year. But we want to show some love to the smaller, local shops and independent makers who are also preparing for the gift-giving season to remind folk to shop local at this time of year.

Whilst some of us are looking forward to the holiday season, a lot of people will struggle at this time of year, especially when it comes to staying warm. We spoke with an energy advisor at South Seeds to get their top tips staying warm over the winter.

For the festive issue of the magazine, we asked our readers to send us their best photos of Govanhill in the winter. Here are some of our faves of snow in and around Queen’s Park.

As the nights draw in, the lights get twinklier and we all start to coorie down for the winter months, we wanted to explore the diverse cultures in the area and discover how our neighbours are preparing for the coming festivities. 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… in Govanhill! Have you got your hands on one of our mini festive issues yet? There’s a gift guide, what’s on, local services and recipes to explore.
