Hello Residents Welcome to the February issue of The Dell Directory. Hope you all had a nice Christmas & New Year it’s been so cold recently I look forward to having some warmer weather where we can all take off a jumper or two and turn the heating down. I can’t believe I’m now in my 5th year of running the magazine, gosh how time flies. I would just like to say a huge thank you to the advertisers and everyone else who has supported me during this time. We have a few local events this month Colinton Market place are holding a handcrafted goods event at St.Cuthberts Church pg13. Take a look at the What’s on pages and Clubs and Classes for more things to do. Also we have an interesting article from The Local History Society pg31. I would like to say Congratulations to Mrs McIntyre, Woodfield Park who won the Festive Crossword in the last issue. Thank you for reading The Dell Directory and supporting local business. Best wishes.
