As we usually do please bring a photo or something special which reminds you of your Mum.  But this year we especially ask if you could bring a donation for Cupboard Love (the Bridport Food Bank charity) which will help Mums and Dads who are finding it difficult to fed their families.

If anyone is able to give me flowers suitable for posies please let me (Ros) know (01297 489055)
