Welcome to the meteorological start of autumn and the September/October issue of The Village Emporium.

Our series of pub reviews continues with The Green Man, Little Braxted, and The Old Windmill, South Hanningfield - a tough part of our job as you might imagine!

We hope you enjoy the mix of articles, competions and events featured. If not, as they say, tell us, but if you do, please tell others! Your news and feeback are always welcome, so please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes,
