Our customers are gearing themselves up for a busy time and to that end they are putting on special offers to attract early business. So, if you are quick you could be organised and grab a bargain. The kitchen is the central point of many homes as cooking has become a predominant feature of many television channels. Our main feature on kitchens will supply you with ideas and businesses that can give you the best kitchen makeover. We are, apparently, a nation of collectors as is evidenced by the number of car boot sales. This month Maxwell digs into the history of enamel signs which most of us have come across during our lives at garages and railway stations to name just two. Although it is a city with around 32,219 population, technically Lichfield is classed as a civil parish, one of only eight in England with city status. Notable as the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, compiler of the first authoritative Dictionary of the English Language. Brian Spencer pays a visit to this historic city. Local playwright and poet Kev Fegan has written more than 50 plays including one about Barack Obama’s brother, and he was also responsible for getting Deirdre Barlow out of jail in Coronation Street. He is, even by his own prolific standards, busy this month with no fewer than four plays all coming to the stage. We hope that you enjoy this edition.
