Dear Reader,

Welcome to the brand new Staying In, Going Out daily and weekend newsletter from Country & Town House, where we'll be making your social life a whole lot easier (and more fabulous). With the aim of helping you live a life in balance, all you'll have to do is choose whether you want to STAY IN or GO OUT and we'll deliver a tempting offering for both straight to your inbox every day Monday to Thursday, plus a bumper Weekend Guide on a Friday. 

There will be last-minute restaurant ideas, book ahead event guides and plenty of cosy stay-at-home activities, design inspiration, book recommendations and recipes to make your home a haven. And we know sometimes you'll want to switch on to switch off, so we'll bring you our top TV picks and insider interviews, too. 

You'll also get a healthy dose of property voyeurism with a daily country or town house for sale, along with chances to enter our rather amazing competitions. 

We'd love to hear what you think, and we can't wait to make living a life in balance just a little bit easier, every day. 

Stay posted for your exclusive installment, tomorrow...

Lucy Cleland
Editorial Director
