A beautiful plate created by one of our lovely customers, Julie.
On the back is the most stunning poem. The attention to detail is so thoughtful with all military divisions and all eras featured.

And yet, the world is still at war. Since the end of WWI in 1918, over 200 wars have taken place worldwide.

In Auschwitz a sign by Georges Santanaya says "If we do not learn from history, we are destined to repeat it."

Lest We forget. Thank you Julie, for the gorgeous piece of work. We will share your poem on Sunday.

Morning everyone.

LEST WE FORGET.

Please join us on Friday for a brew and a slice for The Poppy Appeal.

Every penny goes in the Royal British Legion pot so please bring cash! Donations of your choice for tea, coffee and cake or fresh oven to table scones. We can only seat 6 people, but hope to raise a few pounds for the Royal British Legion.

Never a day goes by that I don't think how lucky I am to live with freedom afforded to us by so many. We are protected daily by continued brave servicemen and women defending us by land, sea and air, doing things we don't know the half of to protect our freedom and liberty. We don't know the half of it.

And in the morning, we will remember them. All of them. All the wars.

Love you lot. See you on Friday ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello everyone. We are closed this Saturday for the day because...

These two gorgeous people are getting married on 2st September.!! I know!!!

We cannot believe that our 'little' Billy is marrying his wonderful girl Georgie. She is a beautiful diamond. They have worked so hard together to get where they are and honestly, we could not be prouder. The love surrounding these two is so great, you can feel it.

We will be at St Nectans church at 1pm. Frock and hat all ready.

See you all next week, after the big day. Thanks everyone. It is going to be emotional. ๐Ÿฅฐ

TO ALL OUR DADS.

TO ALL THE GREAT BLOKES OUT THERE

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

We love good men. Our dad's are the guys who show us how to do stuff. Who tell the worst but funniest jokes. They protect us. They are good listeners and have wise words.

My dad, Len, taught me 'To thine own self be true'. That advice has never failed me. He was fun, adventurous, strong and kind. Let's celebrate the great men in our lives. Big love to you all.
