WIN by local children’s author Mark Elvy Continuing our aim to get everybody reading, whilst also supporting our Buckinghamshire-based authors, we have teamed up with Aylesbury-based children’s author Mark Elvy to give you a fantastic prize for your little ones this month. The Tales of Fluke & Tash are exciting stories based on Mark’s very own pets and the adventures he imagines they have when he isn’t with them. Each book in the series of four has been exclusively signed by Mark Elvy, just for you. Hiya Bucks will be picking four winners, at random, and sending each winner one of the books in the series. After a relaxing summer my gardeners are back and they are as keen as ever. We had a lot of produce ripen while we were away, but this didn’t go to waste. Our friends at Kiln Court were very pleased to receive it. It’s very “secret squirrel” at the moment, but I’m giving you guys the heads up so watch this space! All we have grown this year seems to have truly excelled itself. I’m not sure if it’s the new deeper vegetable beds or the sun to be honest, but we have never grown so successfully. This is a good thing as Holtspur School is expanding its growing capacity. Happy Gardening Laura Barton-Burrowes 24 | hiyabucks.com
