cancer fundraising
Although my work unit remains pretty baltic in the shade it has been a beautiful Spring day outside. No outside coat needed today and it’s just so nice to enjoy some warmth in the sunshine. Fortunately I was out in the van delivering most of the morning, and I even had to have the air
Three more Life of Mique teddy bears are ready to go out in tomorrow’s post to their new homes. Another £60 was donated to Monique Buckingham’s Go Fund Me page today taking the total amount raised by the teddy bears to over £1300. I won’t get tired of saying a massive thank you to everyone
I realised this morning that the teddy bears have raised around £2000 for various charities and campaigns so far this year. This is all down to the kindness and generosity of so many of you. It is mind blowing really, and in times where the world can be quite a scary place, it is good

Today I donated another £46 to Monique Buckingham’s Go Fund Me page. In just a few short weeks the teddy bears have raised £1246.00 which is mind-blowing, and as I have said before is a testament to the love that this young lady is held in and shows just how much kindness and generosity there
Well today has been a bit of a hair disaster!! It all started ok with the photo of me this morning at the dog field. Nice and mild, a big smile with signs of Spring everywhere at long last. Winters always seem sooooooo long! Late afternoon I decided it was time for my DIY grade
Friendship seems to have been on my mind a lot this weekend. Perhaps it’s not being in North Wales with so many friends who are there celebrating 40 years of The Alarm.
