Hi there,

Welcome to our September edition. I’m struggling to believe September is here already if I’m honest! It’s hard to belive that Christmas is only a few months away.

This month we have a great article for those of you with the holiday blues about where to book your October holiday! There’s plenty of places around the world that still have a fantastic climate at that time of year.

We also have a great to do list for all you keen gardiners. The gardening season is coming to an end so be sure to get those last few jobs done and enjoy it as much as you can!

Our donated Charity advert this month is to the incredible Danny Green Fund with a brief update on all their fantastic work and some details about their 2016 Summer Ball on page 8!

Please log on to our website www.eblonline.co.uk to see all our local Businesses and the services that they provide.

We had a great response last month with our quiz, and if you wasn’t lucky last month then please try again.

Things you may find interesting...

This month’s Kid’s Quiz offers you a chance to win a Party for 10 children at the popular Stay & Play children’s indoor play area in Basildon. www.stay-play.co.uk 01268 491511.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service.

‘Our product is simple.

If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Benfleet, Hadleigh, South Benfleet and Thundersley areas and Chris is finding that his

approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done

work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING? Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Average October temperature: 24°Average October rainfall: 18mm Average hours of sunshine in October: 7

Cyprus The Island of Aphrodite enjoys an extended hot summer from April to November, which makes Cyprus a perfect holiday destination during October...

Cyprus enjoys an excellent climate throughout October with good temperatures, low rainfall and plenty of sunshine throughout the day.

Booking Your October Holiday...

As summer comes to an end across Europe and the UK, temperatures fall and you’re unlikely to find hot days on the Costas and islands of the Med. However, there are still places to travel to for a tan and to soak up some rays. So, where’s hot in October? Let us inspire you...

The Canary Islands This group of islands lying off the west coast of Africa enjoys a year-round holiday climate and near-guaranteed heat during the whole of October...

The third largest Canary Island, Gran Canaria, is also the proud host of some gorgeous beaches, most notably Maspalomas, a three-and-ahalf-mile stretch of glistening white sand and impressive dunes.

Average October temperature: 21°C Average October rainfall: 31mm Average hours of sunshine in October: 8

Dubai The jewel in the crown of the United Arab Emirates is now a firm favourite with holidaymakers, and October is the ideal time for a sunshine break...

If you’re looking for the hottest place to visit this October, and you don’t mind the 29°C heat, then a trip to the Persian Gulf might be just for you.

Average October temperature: 29°C Average October rainfall: 1mm Average hours of sunshine in October: 10

Where else do we recommend?

Other great destinations in October include Cape Verde, the Red Sea and Hawaii - all of which have sizzling temperatures...

Where ever you end up be sure to have fun and stay safe!
