Dear Neighbours, Welcome to the September edition of your Abbey-Link. As I write this the Summer holidays are now almost over and its back to school and back to the routine time. September can mark the start of new beginnings for many of us, children and adults a like. Our son is starting Senior school this month, so we will be amongst the many families getting to grips with the new routines that lie ahead. As we move into the Autumn season, this is a time of year where we start to get our homes ready for the colder months. This is a great time of year to get your boiler checked before needing to turn them on again. We have a variety of local plumbing and heating companies available, find these all on our index on page 38. As much as I hate to say it, this is also a time of year when our thoughts do start to turn towards Christmas, and so if you are looking for a Christmas night out - Hatton Court on the front cover do great party nights. Remember our Sudoku competition on page 33, enter and you could be in with a chance to win 2 tickets to the new Cineworld at the Quays. Congratulations to Margaret Richardson on winning last months competition, tickets are on their way to you. Please feel free to email me your Sudoku entries if you so wish: sarah@thelinkdirectories.co.uk Have a great month Sarah.
