May's Wolverhampton Magazine - In shops now
Her figure-hugging dresses get plenty of male viewers tuning in – but Sky Sports golf presenter Sarah Stirk is not just a pretty face. With a very respectable handicap of 7, Sarah is definitely a Master of her game too.
We caught up with the blonde broadcaster on her return to the UK following the Masters tournament which saw her tip the winner. She talks about the pressures of being a woman in a man's world, and looking forward to spending time off at home with family and golden Labrador Mia.
We're definitely in the swing of things with our May issue which features lots of local golf clubs and the incentives they offer to encourage more people to get on the fairway.
Even the editor is tempted to tee off!
Meanwhile, we bring you more local stories including a special feature on the work of the Wolverhampton Retired Greyhound Trust. We meet the fantastic volunteers who run the charity which finds loving new homes for hounds who have come to the end of their racing career at Monmore Green Stadium.
It seems these affectionate animals make perfect pets – which explains why most people adopt a greyhound, or two, or three, or four!
May is the month when large parts of Britain's green and pleasant land are transformed into swathes of yellow as rapeseed flowers. The rise of rapeseed oil as a healthy, versatile alternative to olive oil has led to one Trysull farmer producing his own.
We go down on the farm to meet Rupert Bennett who talks about his passion for the oil which is fully traceable and is getting great feedback from local outlets stocking it and restaurants using it.
From swathes of gold to a carpet of sapphire – May brings us the glorious spectacle of bluebells in bloom. There are many guided bluebell walks taking place in and around Wolverhampton and woods that are worth a visit to admire the flowers in all their floral splendour.
Fashion goes sky high with our pick of sexy stilettos and checks are definitely not square when it comes to this season's summer trend.
Period properties feature in our round-up of what's on the market, or if you're just looking to get away for a short break, you might want to hop aboard the new Eurostar link to the south of France.
