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 mowing the lawn then give one of our gardeners a call as they would happily do it for you.
If you have time on your hands and enjoy walking then do get in touch as we are looking for distrib-
utors for the local Oracle. Please call Jane if you are interested.
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.
