Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the August edition of your Abbey- Link. It’s the school Summer holidays….a time of year that some of us, as parents love, and some of us parents are already counting down the days until the kids go back to school! Personally I love this time of year, despite the juggle it brings of running a business from home and keeping the kids entertained, I count my blessings that I can just about work around them without the worry of too much childcare arrangements (having grandparents close by is always a grateful bonus - a big thankyou to both sets!) August is a time when we can try to take a break from the day to day routines and spend some quality family time together. With my youngest starting her last year in primary school in September, I’m planning on making the most of my 2 whilst they still want to spend time with me during the holidays! We are proud to say that last month saw our sister directory the Tuffley Link celebrate 3 years of publication. Although this is the youngest of our directories, it’s great to see that it’s really starting to grow now and the residents of Tuffley are using the local businesses that are advertising in it regularly. When I spoke to one of our customers this month about seeing if they are happy to continue with their advertising in our directories - their response was…”Thanks for the reminder. We would most definitely like to renew for an other 6 months on all 3 links. We have found a great response from the Tuffley Link and wished we did it sooner!!!!!” With only 4 months from September until the end of the year, yes really, you may be interested in our August offer if you have a business with potential customers in any of our surrounding areas, see more details on page 22. The winner of this months Sudoku competition is Ms Matthews, Cineworld tickets will be on their way to you. To be in with a chance to win Cineworld Tickets, see page 27. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month and enjoy your holiday and family time if you are going away this month...
