Editorial: Indulge in leisurely look at life

Indulge me for a moment or two while I tell you about our great new weekend leisure magazine, appearing for the first time in Hawke's Bay Today Weekend tomorrow.

We are pleased with the new magazine - called Indulge - and we are sure you will be as well.

As previously announced, from next year this paper will move to a smaller compact form from Monday to Friday. In the meantime we have decided to offer you something new on a Saturday. Something to read at your leisure.

Indulge is a tabloid magazine with some exciting new features and some old favourites from 48 Hours.

Regular 48 Hours' features that are being retained include wine writer Yvonne Lorkin, local tourism expert Vicky Roebuck, travel, our books page edited by Linda Hall and the weddings page.

There will be a strong focus on beauty and fashion in Indulge. Tomorrow we have a column offering you beauty tips, we also give you 10 ways to beat the bloat, while our fashion feature is full of bright ideas for summer.

Spin City is a new column keeping you up to date with everything happening on the Hawke's Bay social scene. The column will be written by two well-known figures in the Bay, but we will only reveal their identities tomorrow.

For those of you who enjoy your food, each week we will be inviting a different local chef to tell us his or her favourite dish. They will also provide the recipe so that you can cook it at home.

Television watchers can find their favourite programme in our two-page weekend guide. Tomorrow will be a bonus day for puzzle and crossword lovers. Not only do we have a page of puzzles in Indulge, we are still keeping our full page of puzzles, crosswords and horoscopes in the main section of the paper.

Be sure to rush out tomorrow and get your copy of Hawke's Bay Today Weekend to see the new Indulge. You won't be disappointed.
