Much better than an advertising journal. Can’t wait for the next
issue!
My kids love it—the quirky little Buzz & the kid’s pages with great
competitions!
The Buzz Magazine caters to all the community—and all
members of the family. This is a great idea to have all this
information in one magazine!
I advertised in the preview edition of The Buzz Magazine and was
extremely pleased with the response.
Fabulous magazine. Beautifully produced. And bi-monthly so
we have time to enjoy it!
The team at The Buzz are so helpful and friendly. Nothing is too
much trouble. I am delighted to be featured in the first edition
and wish them every success!
With outstanding quality and very low
advertising rates, it makes sense to create a
Buzz for your Biz with The Buzz Magazine.

The Buzz on the Bridge
Dear Editor,
I don’t very often venture into
Southampton, particularly at night.
But when I did recently I was
thrilled to see the new lighting
on the Itchen Bridge. They
look wonderful and really lit up an
otherwise dreary part of the city.
Will they consider changing the colour
for different events? Like green for
St. Patricks Day? Made me forget
for just a moment that we are still
paying the toil after all these years!

written by an 8 year girl from India
Oh! look- beyond the oceans,
Over the hills,
The golden sun is smiling over,
The blooming roses,
Sleeping sunflowers,
And the purity of lily,
All touched by the grace of sun,
With the added delight of dew,
Making a beautiful morning,
For another day to go by.

The colourful birds,
Flashing flame across the sky,
Adding colour to the paradise,
Flying through the skies of the early sun.
The clear, ringing tone of their song,
Heard across a million seas,
Cutting through the brilliant dawn,
Making a beautiful wake up call,
Throughout my dreams, it rang in my ears,
And before I woke up I heard it for real,
A song of eternity, for another day to go by

good books.
Daniel Rohn & Lailah Bishop, both
aged 8 of Warsash & Whiteley have
read and reviewed Clever Freddie the
www.theb u z z m a ga z i n e .co .u k
Mischievous Fox – Freddie’s Adventures.
Freddie’s mum asks him to find various
things for their den. Freddie takes the
gardeners’ special belongings and this
leads him into adventures and trouble.
Daniel said “I read the book in one
go because I couldn’t wait to find out
what Freddie did next. I enjoyed the
cartoon type pictures in the book”. He
continued “I thought it was adorable
that Freddie buried a gardener’s shoe so
he could use it later as a cot for the new
fox cubs. Sometimes I see a fox in my
back garden but I bet he’s not as clever
or mischievous as Freddie!”
Lailah said “I like it when Freddie
steals the lady’s handbag. That was
funny. His mum had given him a list of
things they needed for their den and
Freddie went off to find things. It is a
great story”. Freddie is very clever and
likes being at the allotment as he likes
seeing the people grow their vegetables.
He is very cheeky and gets up to lots of
mischief. Lailah said “I like this book
because it is real life, Freddie is a real
fox and the stories really happened”.
*MMVTUSBUJPODSFEJU
Raphelina Bonito
Both children found the book very
engaging and the fact that Freddie’s
adventures had taken place locally
made it very appealing to them. They
both gave the book 10 out of 10 and
can’t wait to read the others in the
series.
Calling all Junior Readers! A £10 Book
Token will be sent to Daniel & Lailah for

Method
Lightly sweat the leeks with the butter for 2 – 3 minutes to
soften. Add remaining filling ingredients and set aside to cool.
When the mixture is cold prepare parcels. Brush a sheet of
filo with melted butter and top with another filo layer. Repeat
to give 3 layers in total. Brush the top surface and then fold
over along the long side to give 6 layers. Cut in half to give 2
rectangles.
Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each layered rectangle
and then scrunch up pastry to give a parcel. Brush with
remaining butter.
For a larger parcel for a main course follow above but omit
cutting the folded filo sheets in half. Place two spoonfuls of filling
into the centre of each rectangle and then bring opposite corners
towards the centre and pinch filo together. Brush with remaining
melted butter.
Rest prepared parcels onto a baking sheet and oven cook until
the pastry is crisp and golden.
Decorate parcels with twists of lightly simmered leek strips and
cranberries.
Serve warm or cold.

Children Learn What They Live
If a child lives with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, they learn to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, they learn to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
they learn to be confident.
If a child lives with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, they learn justice.
If a child lives with security, they learn to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, they learn to like themself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.

the spectacular scenery of
the Baltic or Norwegian Fjords in premium style with
Holland America Line.
Our spacious, mid-sized ships accommodate far fewer guests
than most. Step onboard and you’ll find elegant lounges
adorned with fine art and antiques; large, comfortable
staterooms, most with ocean views, and many with private
balconies; restaurants that sparkle with chandeliers, crystal
and conversation – including the intimate “Pinnacle Grill”.
Traditional features such as polished brassware and the
wrap-around teak promenade deck, all create the ambience
of a gracious hotel at sea, and featuring Holland America Line’s
special “Signature of Excellence”.

First for lettings in
Winchester
Think Lettings? Think Leaders
Are you thinking of buying to let?
The buy-­to-­let market has changed substantially over the last 5 years with highs and lows, but with rental demand at an all-­time high and lending is becoming easier for landlords many people are turning to bricks and mortar as a good investment once again. To help those landlords who are looking to buy-­to-­let, Leaders the letting specialists, offer the following advice:
Location, Location, Location;; this doesn’t mean just buying in the most popular areas (which are often the most expensive). It is about researching SRWHQWLDO DUHDV DQG ¿QGLQJ RXW ZKDW WKH FXUUHQW and on-­going demand is for both the rental and sales market. The basics of a good investment are to buy low, sell high and to get the best rental possible in the meantime, but the reality is that there are far more variables to consider, so research and expert advice are the key. Identify the best type of property;; the easiest ZD\WR¿QGRXWZKLFKLVWKHEHVWW\SHRISURSHUW\

for letting in a given area is to talk to a lettings specialist. Many investors are caught-­out by high-­
balled rental estimates from sales agents keen to close a deal, so independent advice is a must.
Tenants take their choice of property
seriously;; despite demand being high, tenants are very savvy and if they plan to rent for an extended period of time they will want something well-­presented and well maintained, so be prepared to make cosmetic updates to a property to ensure a fast let and the highest rental income.
Secure the right mortgage and be realistic about the rental income. Mortgage rates vary from product to product, as do the fees charged by the lenders, so you need to consider the overall cost for comparison of any mortgage as well as ensuring WKDW WKH PRUWJDJH ¿WV ZLWK WKH UHQWDO LQFRPH
and purchase price. Free mortgage comparison sites, such as www.leadersmortgages.co.uk will make this task much easier and show you all the available products from all lenders in one place. Leaders Winchester

Well, it’s Panto
season again!
“Oh no it isn’t” “Oh, yes it is!” Theatres across the land
are gearing up to delight audiences of all ages. Widow
Twankeys up and down the country will be ironing their
petticoats and love sick chaps will be working on their
best chat-up lines hoping to win the heart of a fair
maiden. Cheers and laughter will be plenty, as will the
booing for the evil villain.

“NORAD Tracks Santa” is an annual
Christmas-themed entertainment
program, which has existed since 1955,
produced under the auspices of the
North American Aerospace Defense

purports to follow Santa Claus as he
leaves the North Pole and delivers
presents to children around the world.
