Friends! Do you know, it’s only two days until the Triplets turn TWO YEARS OLD! Can you believe it? They are absolute pickles but we love them dearly 🤎🧡🤎
Snowdrops are also known as ‘Candlemas Bells’, as they bloom around #Candlemas. This Christian celebration of light echoes the older pagan festival of #Imbolc, and is observed on 2nd February to mark the ritual purification of Mary after the birth of Jesus.
Snowdrops are also known as the Fair Maids of February & #Candlemas Bells, as traditionally they are the first flowers to push through the cold winter earth by the start of #February. They are symbols of the new life & warmer days that will now arrive. #FolkloreSunday#Imbolc
I know I know I know what you might say.
We have loyal customers. We work extremely hard to provide a good service & brilliant product.
But still…that doesn’t stop the anxiety.
May I ask, if you have an independent shop in your area, might you pop there this month and grab something?
If you don’t need anything, maybe you could give them a shout out on your social media, or tell your friends about them.
We all want/need local, hard-working businesses to be part of our communities.
❤️❤️❤️ #supportindependent #shopsmall
Happy birthday A.A.Milne 🎈
"So much of my father was in his eyes. They were blue, and like the blue sea they could be warm and caressing or icy cold. Mostly they were warm and kind and gentle and humorous and always understanding." ~C.R.Milne #winniethepoohday
Quote: 'Did you know when I was 16, the government made an agreement with me, that if I paid National Insurance every week, they would give me a pension when I was 60
I kept my end of the deal and am still paying in!!
On the 5th and 6th of June, the UK Government may be made to give back the right to retire at 60 to all those women who worked and paid their National Insurance.
Currently their pension payout is delayed until 66 or 67 depending on date of birth.
We all know that the pension age for women born in the sixties has been raised. Did you know a campaign called ‘Back to 60 Movement’ has won the right to a Judicial Review and is taking the DWP to the High Court? On the 5th and 6th June they will attempt to get women justice over non consultation in raising the pensionable age to 66 and above.
Michael Mansfield QC will lead the case and the argument for the movement. However, there does not appear to be any media coverage regarding this significant event. That is why we’re raising the awareness now. Let's hope for justice rightly deserved.
There appears to be a media blackout on this issue, which suggests that the government have put a block on the media reporting it. So let’s use social media for what it’s good at - share the hell out of this. Come on ladies - this is worth a great deal to you!'

28 Dec: #Childermas, or the Feast of the Holy Innocents, is a day when we remember vulnerable children and those in need of protection. On this day, these white flowers shine like beacons of comfort, peace and kindness — for every child and for all who suffer. #FolkloreSunday
