A bit about “The TuffleyThe TuffleyThe TuffleyThe Tuffley----LinkLinkLinkLink”

Dear Neighbours,

Welcome to the March edition of your Tuffley Link.

As I’m writing this the sun is actually out, I can see blue sky, the nights are getting lighter and it

feels as though Spring may be just around the corner. With the Easter holidays at the end of this

month, lets hope that the weather now starts to take a turn for the better.

As the weather starts to improve, this is the time of year when we start to venture outside again

and start working on the out door jobs that we have put off during the Winter months. If it’s jobs

for your garden that you need help with, we have some great landscape gardeners and garden

maintenance companies on board who can help you bring your garden back to life. See the index

on page 18 for more details.

If it’s more property maintenance that you might require

help with, again we have a full list of companies that can

help you in this area in our index on page 18

Finally if you are thinking of having a conservatory , now

is the ideal time in preparation for the Summer months, or

if your existing conservatory could do with some repair

before the Summer, I can recommend Taylors conservato-

ries on page 14.

With Easter on the horizon, now is the time that the owners

of caravans start to venture out again. If you own a van

that is in need of a service, I can recommend GL Caravan

Care on page 14, he’s a mobile engineer and so is happy to

come to you.

Please remember, as always we can be found on our Face

book page; www.facebook.com/TheLinkDirectories or on

twitter; www.twitter.com/@Sarah_Gerken we would love

to connect with you.

Congratulations to Richard Haines for winning last months

Sudoku competition, tickets to Cineworld Gloucester will

be on their way to you. Please feel free to email me your

Sudoku entries if you so wish: [email protected]

Have a great month, and don’t eat too many Easter eggs!

Sarah.

March 2013 Release’s

Friday 1st March

HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS In this spin on the fairy tale, Hansel & Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches

all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of

evil that might hold a secret to their past.

SAFE HAVEN

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of

Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie

seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two re-

luctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young

children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie

slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and be-

coming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love,

she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a

fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's em-

pathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of

transient safety and one of riskier rewards.

Friday 8th March

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away

from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and

fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodo-

ra (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not con-

vinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic prob-

lems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil

before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of

wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a

better man as well.

Friday 15th March

THE LAST EXORCISM 2: BEGINNING OF THE END As Nell Sweetzer tries to build a new life after the events of the first movie, the evil force that

THE CROODS

The Croods is a prehistoric comedy adventure that follows the world's first family as they em-

bark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is de-

stroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an incredible new world

filled with fantastic creatures -- and their outlook is changed forever.

Friday 29th March

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION The G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with

threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. Framed for crimes

team members face off against Zartan, his accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his

influence.
