If mosquitos are giving you a hard time and you’re looking for nets to cover your windows or doors look below. These are my own directory of services tried and tested through personal experience. Just cut out this list and keep for future use.

2 SALLY’S ANGELS
(Including babysitting) are true to their name, giving trained support and care from beginning to end of life.

For the elderly, unwell or homebound there are trained nurses, midwives, carers and companions to help with all necessary to ensure independence and comfort at home. Recovering from a serious operation alone, my friend says she could not have coped without Sally’s service. Her Angel shopped, prepared food, drove her to hospital appointments and then translated. She even walked her dog. During lockdown her Angels were shopping and providing home care. When my elderly father fell, Sally painstakingly patched his complex wounds with such good humour Dad hardly felt the pain. These are real life Angels! Tel: 971 691 187/619 070 100.
