Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the July edition of your Abbey-Link. Can you believe the school Summer holidays start at the end of the month, so wouldn't it be nice if the weather we have had this week can continue into the holidays! This is the time of year when we all start thinking about our Summer holidays. Whether you are staying in the UK or are lucky enough to be heading abroad, you may be thinking now is the time when you would like to loose those few extra pounds. To help you get to reach your goal, why not pop along to your local Zumba class, it may help you loose a few pounds whilst having great fun. See all of Janes local classes on page 28. Perhaps you are thinking a fake tan may give you that Summer vibe, or you are after a nice manicure or pedicure to give you that Summer feel? Either way we have a few beauticians in the area that can help you out. The Beauty Spot, Therapy by Sam Baggott and Touch of Beauty have some great offers, find all our Beauticians on our index on page 38. Dates for your diary - St Lawrence Church are holding their Flower Festival over the 12– 14th July, and the Tuffley festival is being held on Saturday 6th July - a great day out for all the family - find more details for both events on page 37. Also the screening of the long anticipated Lion King is this month. See what else is on at Cineworld this month from page 34.

Dave’s top tips Replacing Damaged floor tiles As hard as floor tiles appear to be, they can on occasion get damaged with either a chip or crack and need to be replaced. Whenever buying tiles we always recommend getting a few extra as in a short time you may find they soon become obsolete.
The first stage to remove the damaged tile is to carefully knock out the old tile from the middle to the edges with a hammer and chisel. (not forgetting safety gloves and glasses) Then completely remove the adhesive residues and grout. Using an electric scraper is a quick and easy method of doing this but a manual scraper will do the job just as well. Once the surface is cleaned, new tile adhesive is applied using a small notched trowel. Now press the new tile into the adhesive bed and line it up. After the specified drying time, grout the joints and leave them to dry. Finally, remove the remaining grout with a damp sponge before it fully sets. Should you need to make the joints look "old", simply rub some dirt into the dry joints until they are roughly the same colour as the neighbouring joints. 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.
