News the local

Dear Readers We had planned a snow photo for the cover of this month’s edition but as we have been lucky so far with the weather we are going for the Spring look! Let’s hope we haven’t ruined our chances of a snow free couple of months. With all the budding daffodils and crocus we have also had an influx of advertisers who will revamp your gardens ready for a beautiful Summer. We have a number of advertisers offering you pretty much any service you require and making us the one stop directory for the home, garden, body or business!

If you are looking for something you can’t find here, then please let us know and we will try and find an advertiser to suit.

Please see our online calendar along with the latest online version of the local Oracle. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk.

Have a great month!
