Wait... is that the month!? Cue Maria Carey and Michael Buble, it’s time to get festive. What better time than the twelfth

month to reminisce about the year gone by. It’s been a big year for Lost Magazine. So many amazing stories have been explored and presented. It is always worth saying how proud and lucky we are to be here. Each month I feel a rush of joy when I think about the conversations I’ve had with the Lost team and our wonderful contributors.

I am humbled to be writing this letter, I am the rst to admit I’m not much of a writer by any means. I’m a person who has a wonderful team and community standing right next to me - the love this magazine receives is more than any words I could begin to write. Thank you for the excitement in your eyes when we deliver Lost each month!

Now, onto a practical note, I hope you have your shared plate for family lunch planned. If not, head to page 31 for a delicious dish from the Farmers Arms. Animus Distillery have wow’ed us again with another lip smackin’ cocktail recipe!

What did our writers get up to this month? Michael spoke with Mitch, the passionate owner of Farmers Arms Daylesford over a delicious meal. He then headed off to visit the charismatic Clay and Renai of Daylesford Wine Tours for a taste of the town.

Mahmood and Meg Ulman present some food for thought on sustainable living. He then enjoys some time at Radio Springs Hotel with the dream team Ken and Jackie. Amidst Mahmood’s travels, he was welcomed to Leah’s delicious grazing table. Mahmood lastly wanders through Hardwood House with spectacular architect, Adam Kane.

Anthony explores the wonders of photography with Jarrod Andrews, and learns about his mystical imagery.

And that’s that, and now is now.. As always, it is a pleasure to be here introducing the last edition of Lost Magazine for 2019, enjoy!
