WELCOME TO OCTOBER As we are writing this mid September, we just got back from walking to school with our son and the fact that we needed coats and hats tells us that the Summer is really over! Christmas will be here before we know it, why not start to get a few presents over the next few weeks to save the stress of shopping in December! If you are stuck for ideas, Peony Floral Boutique has lots of unusual gifts, find out more on page 14; or for something really special get a leather bag designed for you by Mark Gizzi, see page 8. This month we popped in to The Fox at Woolmer Green, a lovely locals pub, you can find out more on pages 16 and 17. We also find out about a Singing group for people with Alzheimer’s on page 18. Don’t forget you can find the answers to the puzzles on our website – www.villagelifemag.com and we are also on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter – @villagelifemag! Bye for now,
Jose & Melanie
