Welcome to the February edition

January was probably a quiet month for many, but with February being the month to celebrate Chinese New Year, the festivities begin again.

And to celebrate we review a holiday to the Yangtze river, interview the founder of an exclusive Chinese tea company and look at investing in China in this month's Money Matters section.

Also this month, we speak to esteemed author, Philippa Gregory, about the latest Hollywood adaptation of her historical novel 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and celebrate London Fashion Week with top designer Orla Kiely.

In Money Matters, we look at some of the things you should consider when buying a listed building and also talk to property guru, Phil Spencer, as to how you can ensure your house buying process is a smooth one.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
