Good morning, fine people 🇬🇧
There's not much that makes me prouder of FindABrit than getting an email or DM from a business thanking me and saying they've made actual sales from being listed on the site.
That's what this was always supposed to be about. Not follower counts, traffic or numbers on a screen, but helping good British businesses find new customers and putting a bit more business their way.
And the best part is, it's all of us doing it.
So genuinely, thank you for the support. Not for me, but for them. Every share, recommendation and purchase helps a British business, and that's the whole point of this 🇬🇧

I asked my mother what changes when you become a grandmother. Her answer stayed with me.
She thought for a moment and said:
“You love differently.
When you raise your own children, everything feels urgent. You worry, you teach, you correct, you try to prepare them for life.
But when your children have children, something softens.
You get to experience that kind of love without carrying the same fears. You have more time to notice the little things the tiny hands, the laughter, the moments that disappear too quickly.
And then you watch your daughter become a mother herself.
You see parts of yourself in the way she holds her child. You also realize that some of the tenderness you wish you had given her more of you can now pour into her children.
Maybe that's the beautiful part of becoming a grandmother.
You don't get motherhood back.
You get to experience its love from another side and somehow, it feels even more precious.”
"Turn your eyes incessantly to the Blessed Virgin; she, who is the Mother of Sorrows and also the Mother of Consolation, can understand you completely and help you."
Saint Pope John Paul II
It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 And what an autumn delight this fresh #Comma is! Same spot I missed the shot yesterday, so I crept with stealth....then saw a further 3 all over the bramble hedge! Hope they all got to know each other in the sunshine. @savebutterflies#Lancashire
