The changing face of pharmacy Letters Recipe from Winteringham Fields Wordsearch Image for illustration purposes only and not of prize welcome to our latest edition of esprit, the magazine for members of Lincolnshire Co-operative. You can see from the front cover that we’ve been really busy during Fairtrade Fortnight this year. We were delighted to host two cocoa farmers from Ghana and what they had to say really inspired us. We hope you feel the same after reading the article on page 12. A bit closer to home you can read all about the life of a pea – born and bred in Lincolnshire – on page 8. We are also launching our competition to find recipes for a Great Lincolnshire Cookbook, are you interested? Then read all about it on page 24. We would love to see you at our members’ Family Fun Day at Lincoln Castle in June. Details for this and other forthcoming member events are in the magazine together with information about our elections for the Board of Directors. We would encourage all members to take the time to vote, the elections aren’t contested this year but please still show your support. We’re proud to be different – we hope you are too!
