The Spring 26 issue marks the one-year milestone for Seasons of the 208.
Words alone cannot possibly express the heartfelt gratitude I feel for my team of writers,
photographers and staff. Their superb contributions, whether in photography,
writing or design, is testimony to their shared belief in my vision:
this beautiful magazine that we have produced.
It is therefore with great sadness that, due to issues out of our control,
we are pausing publication after the Spring 26 issue.
Thank you for believing in us, and for the many fine compliments on this magazine.
