A bit about “AbbeyAbbeyAbbeyAbbey----LinkLinkLinkLink”

Dear Neighbours,

Welcome to your November edition of your Abbey-Link.

Its that time of year again, and when you receive this, the clocks will have gone back, and

it will start to feel as though Winter is now approaching.

With the darker mornings and dark evenings - now’s the time when the heating starts to

get put back on (if it hasn’t already!) We have some great plumbers in the Abbey-Link

and many of them have some great offers on, so why wait, give them a call now and see

what they can do for you. You can find out who they are

on our index on page 42.

With also only a few weeks to go until the end of the year,

November is a time where we start thinking about

Christmas and all the planning and preparation.

If bikes are on the Christmas list this year - Slam 69 in on

our doorstep and is a great local family bike shop - see

page 13 or more info.

If you have already booked your Christmas nights out, but

are looking for a bit of pampering before hand to help you

get ready for the parties ahead, we have some great local

beauty and massage therapists - see pages 16,17 & 40 for

more details. If you are planning to go away over the festive peri-

od and are looking for someone to look after your

pets whilst you are away - we have a couple of local

pet carers with a great reputation. on page 12

Remember 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 Ian Black for winning last months Sudoku competition, tickets to

Gardening Tips for November from Garden Delight.. Flowers, Tubs and Borders Finish planting out spring bulbs, November is an especially good month to plant Lilies

and Tulips, in both cases if you have a heavy soil put a little coarse grit in the bottom of

the planting hole to aid drainage.

Plant deciduous hedges such as beech and hawthorn.

Trim over your summer flowering heathers, removing the old flower stems keeps them

compact and will encourage fresh new growth next spring and stop the plants becom-

ing woody.

Plant up a few Paperwhite Narcissi in pots to bring inside to flower for Christmas.

Take hardwood cuttings of shrubs.

Lawns You will most likely need to make the final cut of the year, make sure the blades on the

mower are set high and the grass is dry when you cut.

If it’s not too wet or cold you can carry on laying turf until the end of the month.

Fruit and Vegetables Harvest and store late varieties of Apples and Pears.

Plant ‘soft’ fruit’ this month for cropping next summer. November is the right

month to buy and plant Raspberry canes, Blackcurrants, Redcurrants and Gooseberries.

Protect Cauliflower ‘curds’ by bending a few leaves over the centre. Leeks and

Parsnips can be left in the ground until required for use; the flavour will improve after

the first frost.

Bring in some roots of Chives, Mint and Parsley pot up and grow on the kitchen

window sill for fresh foliage all winter.

Sow Aquadulce Claudia Broad Beans to over winter and gain a head start to har-

vest next June.

Plant out Garlic bulbs by the end of the month, they like a fertile well drained

sunny position.

Greenhouse Check greenhouse daily opening vents on sunny days to regulate the temperature

and increasing ventilation to cut down on pest and disease. But make sure to close up

on frosty nights and check insulation is in order for when it gets really cold.

When watering avoid splashing on leaves as this can cause mildew and other

fungal diseases.

Plant of the month – Viburnum bodnantense ‘Dawn’- larger growing shrub, upright

in habit reaching 2.5 metres in height. Clusters of highly scented flowers cover the

plant November- February. Ideal for the back of the border where its dark green purple

tinged foliage provide a great back drop for spring and summer flowering shrubs, the

shrub then comes into its own during the winter months when the masses of flowers

brighten up any garden. Easy to grow but prune back after flowering to keep compact

and under control.

given. Remember there are principles to successful gardening but no formulas.

November 2012 Release’s

Friday 2nd November

SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D Heather Mason and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces

that she doesn't fully understand, Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific

nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she

is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.

Based on the best-selling videogame series of the same name.

Friday 9th November

ARGO In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several

Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the

Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With

few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devises a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian

film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew.

With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez creates the ruse and proceeds to

Iran as its associate producer. However, time is running out with the Iranian security forces

closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House have grave doubts about the

operation themselves.

Friday 16th November

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 2 Bella is enjoying her new life and new powers, after the birth of their daughter, Renesmee.

the Volturi to destroy this potential threat, Bella and the Cullens - together with any allies they

can assemble - are preparing to fight a crucial, ultimate battle, to protect their family.

Friday 23rd November

NATIVITY 2: DANGER IN THE MANGER! This sequel to the popular British comedy sees a new teacher (David Tennant) take over. When
