Use Locally - Issue 11 March 2014
Karols Korner Happy Mothers Day! Any upsets you have with your mum? Now the time to bury the hatchet and make up, you only have 1 mum! Unless of course you are a foster child, in which case you may consider you have more than 1 and this month we have an in depth look at what it feels like to become a foster carer. This is a very personal issue for my family as its about our journey into fostering, (and therefore is copyright to Use Locally Magazine), if it makes you think about why, how and what, then its worth the loss of privacy. Any questions can be directed to either the contributors or myself. So back to Mothers Day, make sure to treat your mum and book up early, if planning on going out. Have a look at our best kept secret review on page 29. One things for sure, the secrets out now! A return of the extremely popular Café Bleu competition this month, in response to our reader’s request, Café bleu kindly agreed to donate another fabulous lunch for 2 lucky readers. Plus for the dads a fantastic power tools show competition to enter with 6 tickets up for grabs! This month restarts our out and about section, with events picking up in the surrounding area again, so be sure to see whats on & where you can go within a reasonable distance to travel. Have a great month, and look out for our April edition coming through your doors at the end of March.
