LoveLocal Brackenfell September - October Edition 2024
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the latest edition of LoveLocal Brackenfell, your essential guide to all things local! We’re thrilled to have you with us as we embark on a journey to celebrate and support the vibrant community that makes Brackenfell so unique.
In this edition, we’re diving deep into the heart of our neighbourhood to bring you the best of what local businesses, events, and markets have to offer. Whether you’re searching for the perfect spot to grab a cup of coffee, a new favourite restaurant, or a weekend market where you can find one-of-a-kind treasures, we’ve got you covered.
At LoveLocal Brackenfell, we believe in more than just the idea of “supporting local”—we believe in showing you how. It’s easy to get lost in the sea of options, but we’re here to make it simple and impactful for you. From getting quotes from trusted local service providers to discovering hidden gems in your own backyard, we’re committed to connecting you with the people and places that make our community thrive.
This edition is all about helping you buy, eat, and shop local. We’re shining a spotlight on the businesses that add character and charm to our area, the events that bring us together, and the markets that make shopping an experience, not just a transaction. Our mission is to go beyond the buzzwords and bring you real, actionable ways to make a difference in your community.
So, as you flip through these pages, we hope you feel inspired to explore, engage, and embrace everything that makes Brackenfell special. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community—one that thrives on local love.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
Here’s to celebrating everything local!

ATOMIC HABITS - JAMES CLEAR
Atomic Habits by James Clear
THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: OVER 1O MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE. Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two pushups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cuttingedge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.
A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: ‘A supremely practical and useful book.’ Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck ‘James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits. This engaging, hands-on book is the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones.’ Adam Grant, author of Originals ‘Atomic Habits is a step-by-step manual for changing routines.’ Books of the Month, Financial Times ‘A special book that will change how you approach your day and live your life.’ Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way.
