Editors Note                     July 2008 Edition

Dear Readers,

Well, thank you to everyone so far for entering last month’s competition to win a signed copy of a book by Peter Kerr - the award winning travel writer.  There is still time to enter, however, so if you haven’t already done so, send your name, address, and phone number to the email address below for your chance of winning.  Good luck.

Finally, the weather has warmed up!!!  Thought we were going to completely bypass summer this year!!  I am getting a bit sick and tired of de-weeding only to have them all come bigger and stronger than before with all the rain!!!

I received a letter this month from “The Cutting Room” (you can see it in this edition).  They have been open for one year this month!!!  Doesn’t time fly?  Congratulations to Colin, Jacqui, David and Monica - and I wish you all the very best for the future.
