Dear Readers, Autumn is heading our way. Is it just me that finds the months roll by so quickly now. Time left however to get a stroll in the Outwoods before the weather turns.

We have a few new to our magazine, businesses this time. Please check out Trinity Early Learners Pre-school who have places available. We also have Soothing Heads offering Indian Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage and if you’re feeling hungry and Thai is on your mind then look out for Little Thai Kitchens who prepare and cook some seriously amazing food to order.

Take care til next time Rachel
