Posted by web_administrator | Category : The Abbey

In this age of the credit crunch and recession value for money will become the new buzz word but do we know what value for money really is? Do memories last longer than material goods? I had a friend at college who loved the sales; she would dress for the occasion having done the shoe equation she would sprint out the door in her Reeboks with purse in hand. When she returned the scars of the day were visible, her neatly coiffure hair now resembled Bridget Jones’ hair; you remember the scene, when she steps out of Daniel Cleaver’s classic...

In the surrounding area of Iver Heath is Langley Park which is historic parkland of 130 acres and holds important wildlife habitats, including woodland, heathland, wetland and grassland. It is a place to go and enjoy the peace and tranquillity and to admire living links to the past,...
