Hello Readers... Happy New Year, and welcome to the February edition of the Ledbury Focus. I hope you had an enjoyable festive season, albeit a very wet one! As I write, it is once again pouring with rain. I’ve just been out in the garden (to feed the hedgehog) and although we are not prone to flooding in this area, the ground is so soggy my cats have decided to take swimming lessons! It’s a pity we can’t somehow redirect our horribly wet weather down south to Australia, where they so desperately need it.

For the music fans out there, we are running a competition to win a Bluetooth speaker. You’ll find the details on page 13, so have a go and see if you can work out the hidden word in the Word Search. If you are one of our advertisers and would like to use this to promote your business with your own bespoke Word Search, give me a call or email me for details. Editor %HWW\$QQ$PEXU\ [email protected] Advertising & Editorial %HWW\$QQ$PEXU\ It’s a Leap Year this year, and traditionally that means that instead of waiting for him to pop the question, ladies you can do the proposing! I recently saw a couple of YouTube clips showing very elaborate proposals involving flash mob dance routines – great fun, and really very romantic. So come on girls, let’s see what you can come up with. If he says yes, then drop me an email with the details and we’ll print the most original as an article in the next issue – the winner gets a box of Thornton’s chocolates.
