NPLife has now gone monthly - and we are all really excited about bringing you more news about Newport more regularly.

In this edition we catch up with Newport triathlete Anneliese Heard who is in Melbourne for the Commonwealth Games to find out how her preparation are going.

We give you some great ideas for treating your mum to something special on March 26 - put it in your diary with big red letters as it's Mother's Day.

We also asked youngsters from infants schools around the city to enter our spring art competition - and we publish the winning entries.

We took two local models to the Riverfront for our fashion shoot.

And we look at how we should be decorating our homes this season.

If that's not enough we've also taken a trip to the top of Twmbarlwm, spoken to those nice people at the Monmouthshire Building Society about it's history and future and investigate Newport's twin towns.

Check out the pics throughout this edition - if you are pictured and it is circled, bring the mag into our offices and you will win £50.

And remember to watch out next month for another exciting magazine.

Enjoy!
