Cheers to National Grammar Day this Monday, Think Local Harrow readers! It's the perfect occasion to celebrate the art of good grammar and maybe, gently nudge those who struggle with crafting a coherent sentence. Consider it a playful reminder rather than a reprimand.

Kicking off the week, we delve into the recent power outage in Harrow, mourn the closure of a cherished local corner shop, offer tips for stress-free packing during a move, and guide you on snagging that ideal mortgage. And, of course, our daily trivia and thought of the day are here to add a little extra spark to your Monday.

Catch you tomorrow! ✌️
