Page 16 • The HERALD • 17th July 2025 v SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES v At Walbank Opticians, we place a strong emphasis on choosing the right glasses for you through our styling service. is may not be a concept you’re familiar with, so allow me to share with you just how it works. We take the time to understand your facial features, your colours (hair, complexion, eyes), and your style personality through a series of short questions. When we combine these ndings with the prescription recommendations we can identify glasses to make you feel con dent and light up your face. Rather than trying on dozens from overwhelming racks of frames, our Eyewear Stylist can now narrow down the best options for you. e whole process is easier and far more pleasurable, making choosing new glasses something special. is bespoke service is in a relaxed environment where the focus is entirely on helping you look and feel your best. It can also be useful for very high prescriptions where, historically, there has been limited frame style options. e Walbank Opticians styling service takes the guesswork out of choosing new glasses, combining expert advice with a personal touch. e result? Eyewear that ts beautifully, looks fantastic, and makes you feel con dent every day. Find out more at: walbankopticians. co.uk or call: 023 8089 2969. Focus On Glasses by Twinkle Patel of Walbank Opticians It has been just over a year since e Purrfect Cat Ladies opened their little cattery in Dibden Purlieu. ere are chalets available, with the largest able to hold up to four cats from the same family, a double chalet, and a small single/double which has been built with nervous or senior cats in mind. Catteries, though, aren’t suitable for all cats. is is why the Purrfect Cat Ladies also offer their hugely successful home visits. It’s very important to ask the right questions when booking someone to pop in and take care of your cats but, perhaps, the most important thing is to let your cat tell you if they are happy with this person being in your home. e Purrfect Cat Ladies have years of experience of introducing themselves to cats and dogs, typically making friends with your animals within a few minutes. Many pet-sitters work alone, so what happens with your cats should the sitter not be able to attend? e Purrfect Cat Ladies have this covered as there are two members in the team. ey always go to the meet and greet together so that they both know what is needed while you’re away. en, if the allocated pet-sitter can’t make it for any reason, the other Purrfect Cat Lady can take over. It’s also very important to make sure that your chosen pet-sitter has the correct insurance, is DBS checked, can administer medicines, and has the experience and knowledge to know if your cat is o -colour and then know what to do. You can rest assured that the Purrfect Cat Ladies have all this covered. You can take a look at purrfectcatladies. co.uk or follow them on social media to see lovely stories about their home visits or those staying in the cattery.
