Welcome to February’s edition of the Mudeford Mag. Lots of red letter days on the calendar at this time of year, anything to distract us from the cold, dark gloomy days of February is always a bonus. For all those in love, Valentine’s day is on the 14th, so if you wish to keep your loved one happy and also your mum at the same time, contact Poppies florist who are offering 10% discount when ordering Valentine’s flowers and Mother’s Day flowers; see their advert on page 20. If you really want to impress your mum, because after all she’s worth it, treat her to a special luncheon at the Marsham Court Hotel, on page 20 or alternatively spoil her with a cream tea at the New Forest Tea Rooms in Christchurch, details on page 4. Booking essential on either venue and always best to book early to avoid disappointment.

Best wishes, Julie

A conservatory is difﬁcult to keep warm in the winter due to the lack of insulation in the ceiling, any heat generated is simply lost as it rises into the roof area.
