A bit about “The The TuffleyTuffley-Link” Link Dear Neighbours,
A belated Happy New Year………... Welcome to the February edition of your Tuffley Link. Christmas and all its festivities now seem to be a distant memory and we are now ploughing ahead into the New Year. 2013 is going to be a celebratory year in ’The L-D’ (Link Directories) household, with both myself and my husband celebrating certain milestone birthdays, along with some very good friends of ours - I feel a few parties on the horizon!! I’m due to be an Auntie again this year , and I’m Matron of honour for one of my best friends at her wedding taking place later in the year - think its time for the diet and fitness to start before the celebrations begin!! Is New Year a time that you also start to think about diet and fitness for the year ahead - and yes I know we all start with good intentions, but I plan on sticking to it this year!! The Tuffley Link can help point you in the right direction. If you are looking to loose weight after the Christmas excess, we have a list of all the local classes available for Rosemary Conley diet and fitness on page 2.

Friday 1st February
February 2013 Release’s CIRQUE DE SOLEIL
A young woman in a small Mid-Western town goes to a traveling carnival one evening, where she is urged by a silent clown to visit the carnival's circus and see The Aerialist, the show's star attraction. She is entranced by The Aerialist, but during his act he misses a catch and falls to the ground. She rushes to help him, but then the ground beneath them gives way and they fall through into the dreamlike world of Cirque du Soleil. Separated, they travel through the different tent worlds trying to find each other, interacting with the strange and wonderful performers and performances of Cirque du Soleil.
Friday 8th February WRECK-IT RALPH Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game's perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes... so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan -- win a medal -- but soon wrecks everything, and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph's only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), a young troublemaking "glitch" from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before its "Game Over" for the entire arcade?
HITCHCOCK In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock (Sir Anthony Hopkins) and his wife, Alma (Helen Mirren), are at the top of their creative game as filmmakers amid disquieting insinuations about it being time to retire. To recapture his youth's artistic daring, Alfred decides his next film will adapt the lurid horror novel, Psycho, over everyone's misgivings. Unfortunately, as Alfred self-finances and labors on this film, Alma finally loses patience with his roving eye and controlling habits with his actresses. When an ambitious friend lures her to collaborate on a work of their own, the resulting marital tension colors Alfred's work even as the novel's inspiration haunts his dreams.
Friday 15th February A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane (Bruce Willis), for the first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney) - unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.
Friday 22nd February HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS In this dark spin on the fairy tale, siblings Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma To advertise 01452 617040 Arterton) are a formidable team of bountycall hunters who track and kill witches all over the world.
