Dear Readers

As we go to print, the Olypmics are in full swing - we may have won some more medals by the time you

read this! We hope you have had a chance to see some sun this summer either at home or abroad. At

least with all the sun and rain the plants are looking great in the garden. If you can’t keep up with mow-

ing the lawn then give one of our gardeners a call as they would happily do it for you.

Thank you to all our followers on Facebook - please continue to ‘like’ us (and we will ‘like’ you back) and

receive updates on what we are doing. It’s always good to keep in touch.

Remember, you can see an up to date copy of the local Oracle on line.
