As I write this it’s minus 2 degrees outside with possible snow on

the way. Bizarre when we’ve been seeing crocuses in the garden

are reading this; we’ve lots of work to be done on our house

which includes replacement of windows and knocking down walls,

replacement of boiler and radiators. All this disruption is never

great but to have no heating or windows would be even worse!

We hope to be using many local trades within the magazine for

much of this work. We do already have many trades within our

family but when we can, we use local trades. Using local business

and services is so important to our local economy, not only that

but those within these pages is how this community magazine is

funded, printed and distributed around Christchurch. Please help

keep us all going and support us where you can. Don’t forget to

mention ‘The Eye’ when replying to adverts.

Thank you everyone for your emails and letters that you have

sent in, it makes me so happy to know that you are enjoying the

magazine and look forward to the next edition the following

month. As we grow, we are able to bring you more editorials

making for an even more interesting read. We’ve been able to

take on a new member of staff, Shaun Keefe, who will be helping

out with the graphic design enabling me to not only spend more

If every adult in the CHRISTCHURCH AREA

spent just

£5 per week in their local independent

it would be worth AN EXTRA

£8.2 million

Which means more jobs, better facilities & a nicer

That  one  day  I  dread  

more  than  any  in  the  

year  is  fast  approaching,  

and  this  year  it  occurs  on  

Whilst  I  can  make  a  

perfectly  acceptable  

three  course  roast  

dinner  (complete  with  

all  the  trimmings),  I  am,  

pancake.  It  doesn’t  help  that  pancake  day  has  

usually  been  accompanied  by  an  ‘incident’  in  

the  English  Mum  household.

the  6  year  old,  the  frying  pan  and  the  chin  

(and  a  near  trip  to  casualty).  There  are  the  

numerous  occasions  where  the  spoon  has  

followed  by  the  word  ‘takeaway?’  There  was  

with  the  mess  on  the  ceiling  (never  let  a  child  

give  a  dad  a  challenge  to  see  how  high  he  

can  toss  a  pancake),  and  the  whole  blocked  

debacle’,  which  ended  up  as  an  inedible  pile  

is  a  shrove?’  my  answer  will  be,  ‘It’s  a  name  

given  to  any  cafe  or  restaurant  which  serves  

pancakes.  Get  your  shoes  on  we’re  going  to  

Cafes  and  restaurants  of  Christchurch,  

don’t  let  us  down  —  never  mind  the  fancy
