Harfield Village September 2023 Newsletter

Interesting Fact about September: September is the only month with nine letters in its name, just like its position as the ninth month of the year. Additionally, it holds the distinction of being the month with the longest name.

Soon we will witness Spring as it emerges bringing vibrant colours of blooming flowers, clear beautiful light as the sun shines through the greening trees and new life as birds start singing, with it.

There are many interesting articles by local business owners and a lot more, to be found in this newsletter.
