As we write this, we have yet more changes from the Government to consider and the last thing any of us want is a complete lockdown again! Let’s kick this virus into touch by keeping safe and making an effort to keep to the, often confusing, rules. We can still support local businesses in a safe way, we just need to be mindful of others. Please note we have made changes to our telephone numbers. Anna can be reached on 01732 795777 and Jane on 01732 521494. A digital copy of each edition can be found on our website and social media pages so if you lose your copy of wish to share it with someone else then please just click on our website - www.thelocaloracle.co.uk. We also share additional information on our social media pages which can be found on the following links ...facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle.

The Spadework Pumpkin Garden will be open to the public from 10 – 31 October. Come along and choose a pumpkin or two to decorate for Halloween. As you will know if you visited us last year, we just love growing pumpkins. Although our Trainees were not able to assist us because of the coronavirus lockdown, we were fortunate to have an army of volunteers who helped water and tend to our bumper crop during the growing season. We have lots of varieties of pumpkins and gourds, in all shapes and sizes, so you are bound to find something to decorate your doorstep, windowsill or mantelpiece. Every pumpkin you purchase goes to help us provide care, support and meaningful opportunities for adults with learning and other disabilities. We have had to implement a range of measures to ensure the safety of all our customers, staff and volunteers. If you are planning to visit us, please take a moment to read them on the website. They will be updated as October approaches. The Pumpkin Garden is open 10 – 31 October from 10am until 4pm. The Spadework Farm Shop and Garden Centre are also open . Please check social media for updates on arrangements so that we can all stay safe.
Exquisite Printing Using classic printing techniques along with traditional methods of finishing, we craft beautiful & memorable pieces of print that will make your Personal Stationery, Invites, Order of Services or Wedding Stationery stand out from the crowd
