Welcome… to the latest edition of THE STRATTON & TASBURGH BOOK… Summer is here - time to get out in the garden and enjoy the South Norfolk sunshine!
Should you need any help in and around your property, as always, you’ll find lots of thriving local business services inside this magazine!
At home, we’ve recently been celebrating the 18th anniversary of starting our publishing business - time has simply flown by...
With plenty of hard work we hoped all would turn out well, and indeed it has; publishing has literally become a way of life for our family. The friends we’ve made along the way amongst customers, suppliers, distributors, charities, clubs and local people has been fantastic and for that, we’re extremely grateful.
Guest celebrity for this edition is singer Katherine Jenkins OBE - see centre pages...
