Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the April edition of your Abbey-Link. At last the nights are starting to pull out and with the clocks having now changed last weekend, let’s hope that there is a feeling that Spring may be just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but it certainly seems to help with the mood when the weather is better. With the Easter holidays now upon us and a nice long bank holiday weekend to look forward to, it is this time of year when we start to venture outside again and realise all the work that needs doing in our gardens. If you have work that you need doing in your gardens and feel that it’s too much for you to cope with, we have plenty of landscape gardeners, lawn men, window cleaners and property maintenance businesses that can help you get on top of everything - just take a look at our index on page 38 to help find what you are looking for. May be you feel that you have been neglected over the winter months and could do with putting a spring back in your step! Well we have local beauty therapists that could help with that. Touch of Beauty are an new salon based in Brockworth, they are running an offer on gel manicures this April, see page 17 for more info. Congratulations to Jenny Thomas the winner of last months Sudoku competition, Cineworld tickets will be with you soon. Find this months Sudoku on page 37 Have a great month, don’t eat too much chocolate... Sarah.

Dave’s top tips Working safely DIY enthusiasts need the same protection as tradesmen. This includes protective goggles and gloves, protective masks and ear protectors.
Dust, sprays, and flying chips are not uncommon in DIY work – which is why you should protect your eyes. Standard protective goggles are usually sufficient. When performing work like sawing, sanding or chiselling, you should not underestimate the risk of possible hand injuries caused by chips. Full protection is only offered by special protective gloves. You should not wear any gloves when using hand-held circular saws, belt sanders and drills because they can get caught in the rotating tools. Don't forget breathing protection: When drilling, sawing, sanding, planing or routing, you should protect your lungs with a disposable protective mask – even better with a fine dust mask. When dealing with insulation wool or solvent-based paints and varnishes, masks with activated carbon filters provide the best protection. Don’t forget the strain put on your ears when drilling, sawing, sanding, etc. Earplugs are sufficient for sporadic use. If you frequently work with noise-intensive power tools, it is advisable to use ear muffs. Wear the right clothes: They should be comfortable, tight-fitting and flameproof. Watches and jewellery are dangerous and should be taken off before you begin with the work. For your own safety, tie up long hair to prevent it getting caught up in running machines. Regards Dave Stevens. If in doubt call me (see main advert for number) and I will do the investigating for you. Disclaimer. All advice above is given in goodwill with many years experience. We cannot guarantee however that your problems will be rectified so please, if in doubt call us before undertaking any works yourself.

Film Releases for April 2019 5th April 2019 Shazam! Starring: Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word — SHAZAM! This streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart inside a ripped, godlike body, Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? But he'll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
Pet Semetary Starring: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, who, after relocating with his wife Rachel and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family's new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turn to his unusual neighbour, Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.
