Hello out there👋 I thought I’d share a few of the Grand National fundraising efforts over the years.

I know ‘The Chair’ caught people’s imagination! As the years past the challenge became harder to theme this one, but it was always such fun 🤗

I recall being John McCririck but by all accounts resembled Sherlock Holmes 🤦🏼‍♀️ I tried…… I can’t find a photo which is probably for the best‼️

Whatever you have planned this coming weekend, enjoy. We have a family get together as our grandson turns two mid week. Yes, a fully fledged toddler already👦🏼

Take care & love to all x

🎄🎅🏼🎄 Well this month has not gone to plan🥺 If anyone of you have been stricken with the Winter Bug, I feel for you. I have been & still am 😏so poorly. I haven’t written a card, been shopping, done any preps……. After 2 ambulances called & anti-biotics, I am starting to feel a little more human again & hoping to salvage something for the big day.

I had said I would post some past memories of the Christmas Countdown in the shop so here is a little photo dump.

Wishing Everyone A Very Merry Christmas & Health & Happiness for whatever the New Year throws at us‼️

Missing what was my happy place but above all MISSING YOU 🫶🎄Byeeeeee x

Well Hello to anyone who may still click on here 👋
I just wanted to say there aren’t the words to describe how much I miss you all🥺😢 but as today is officially the start if my favourite time of year, I thought I’d touch base & hope to pop a little reminder of the countdowns to Christmas over the years (mixed in with current) 🎄🎅🏼❤️
Please feel free to share your preps too 🫶 x
