Zazas Blog - December 2016

It's that time of year again. Time to put on my antlers, dig out the woolly jumper and switch on the festive lights! For Christmas will soon be upon us. The Winchcombe Advent Festival will be held on Tuesday 6th December this year. Be sure to take a look as theere will be late night shopping, live music, market stalls and festive food. It's a great opportunity to start your Christmas shopping or simply call by for a glass of mulled wine and some mince pies to get into the spirit!
This month, for a bit of festive fun, I have found a puzzle for you. Can you spot the badger within the herd of zebras?
Wishing everybody a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Until ext year,
Zaza

Gather 'Round The Fire.....

Take a moment to study your fireplace as it's about to become one of the most important features within your home. Maybe you've already planned ahead and all the logs are stocked up, the chimney is swept and the mantle is Seasonally decorated just like your favourite pinterest inspiration. However if, like most of us, you have been denying the onset of Winter and the fact that the 'big day' is just a matter of weeks away, now may be the time to consider your chimneypiece.

Maybe you are looking to remodel your existing firesurround, have opened up a forgotten inglenook, or have finally got around to ripping out that dubious 1970's surround which has been there since you moved in; either way, a visit to Winchcombe Reclamation may be of help. Here are just a few things we can offer.....
Reclaimed Fire Surrounds
New Fire Surrounds


Lintel Beams

Hearth Stone

This is not my phone number, bank account details, or passport number - this is my crime reference number (47th of the day !!!)
On Sunday 2nd of October, some 'scallies' broke in and stole my ten ton crane lorry (about the same size of two JCB's) then smashed through steel gates and away into the darkness.
I didn't even get a police visit but received a nice letter a week later offereing counselling and saying nothing more could be done.
So, this month, make sure that everything is locked away behind big gates and, most importantly, INSURED - This is where your crime reference number comes in......
