This Sunday is Mothering Sunday! If your mother's no longer around it can be hard. I will as usual be reading out the names of our Remembered Mums/Mams/Moms from halfway up this beauty - the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. If you'd like me to read out your Mum's name, PLEASE reply with #Mums26 ❀️ πŸ‘‘
