## What is The Simple Things Magazine?

The Simple Things is a beautiful, useful, quirky and fun magazine about taking time to live well. We cover eating and growing, mindfulness and microadventures, forgotten wisdom, home life and slow moments. It's for people who love their lives but want to take the pressure off and remember what’s really important. We like tea & cake, learning stuff, being outside and the satisfaction of a job well done. Do you?

Every month we publish 132 pages of seasonal loveliness, ideas and inspiration to dip into. Includes a poem, a story and a playlist, plus our ‘could-do’ list, recipes and weekend projects.
