Due to demand, Vale Life is now on sale. We’ve put a cover price of £1.95 on each copy. Hopefully this will be affordable for all. We’d like to give something back to the community so a percentage of each sale will go into our Vale Life Better Life fund.

You can find copies in Marks and Spencer (Culverhouse Cross), Waitrose and a number of high quality independent retailers throughout the Vale. . Please support your local community and buy your copy while stocks last.

This issue is a bit of a fashion fest (I’ve finally got my way by introducing more fashion and beauty related features!). Not forgetting you men out there, we have a fascinating feature on carp fishing to keep a happy balance.

From the positive feedback we’ve received, we’re giving you what you want but we don’t intend to rest on our laurels. If there are topics you’d like us to cover, then please email me at jennifer@valelife.co.uk and we’ll do our best to bring them to you. I hope you enjoy this issue.
