Welcome to the October edition of Inside RH & CRSM magazines.

October’s such a great month isn’t it? Thirty-one days of change as we head from the summer into autumn and the steady run up to Christmas! Yes, the days are getting shorter and the mornings colder, but who can resist kicking their way through a pile of crunchy autumn leaves, or putting on a scary costume and heading out Trick Or Treating with the kids?

Of course not all piles of leaves are welcome. If clearing your lawn is a bit like painting the Forth Bridge, or if the garden is generally getting on top of you, this time of year can be a chore. We’re here to help. Leaf blowers and landscapers are here to be found, together with all the best local trades and businesses specialising in automotive, IT, home improvements and more. Whatever your one-off emergency or long-term project you’ll find someone to help here in Inside RH. Please do mention our name when you call.

And as usual we have £100 up for grabs in our Prize Crossword. Get your entry in quickly, and if it’s the first correct one drawn from all those received, you’ll be pocketing the cash.

Don’t forget If you have any items for sale do send us the details and we will get it listed for FREE in our private ads section.

Here’s to a happy, spooky, brightly-coloured, mellow and marvellous October.
