Dear Neighbours, Welcome to your March edition of the Abbey-Link. Is it to early to hope that Spring is round the corner. I don’t know about you, but I will be happy to see a little more sunshine and for it to start to feel a little warmer! With Mothers Day and Easter during March, there is plenty to celebrate this month. Now show me a mum who doesn’t like a little pampering - and we have a variety of beauty therapists on board this month with many offers for Mothers day. The Beauty Spot on page 25 have a range of promotions throughout March and Therapy by Sam Baggott on page 30 are offering 10% off Dermalogica products during March.
