Outside of work we have been assisting the amazing Friends of Mostyn Street and the Llandudno Crafters with their 80th Anniversary of D-Day and “The Longest Yarn” tribute. From moving pews at Holy Trinity Church, to transporting ‘Winston Churchill’ to stand in front of the life sized knitted tank in The Victoria Shopping Centre, and tonight helping with the unloading and positioning of the 80 containers of crafted 3D panels depicting D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. It’s been quite a journey for the brilliant volunteers at FOMS who are behind this incredible tribute.

Celebrations start on the 2nd of October. Please visit llandudnorespects.com for more information.

A special thank you to Gini and Pat for the beautiful Knitted Poppy wreath on loan from the Llandudno Crafters which looks beautiful at No.12.

We had a lovely evening taking part in the St David’s Hospice Moonlight Memories Walk once again. A great turnout as always. Thank you to our brilliant friends at the hospice for organising it perfectly. Everyone who took part did so in memory of someone gone, but never ever forgotten.

Thank you so much to the brilliant volunteers at the RNLI Llandudno Lifeboat for the fantastic tour of the Station and our incredible lifeboat. Myfanwy and Nick were superb guides and were absolutely fascinating. Were are so lucky to have such an amazing crew and the wonderful volunteers who support them. Thank you all for allowing us to visit.

Cheryl and Josie have over exerting themselves once again for good causes. This time it was for our brilliant, local, St David’s Hospice. A 27 mile walk to raise money for the amazing work they do. Well done you two.

It was lovely to be invited to meet the coaches at Llandudno Amateurs Football Club this evening. We’ve had the privilege of sponsoring them this season and wish them all the very best. It was great to see our logo on their kits.

Thank you so much to Nan, Sue, Dave and Aled from Memoria Denbighshire for once again organising a wonderful quiz night. We really needed to spend time with you guys and our friends in the funeral profession and just unwind for a few hours.

You may remember that we have been narrowly beaten twice by the Coroners team, but this time we had our revenge and our joint L-B&H/RW Roberts team finally prevailed. Thanks Glesni and Ifan for helping us win. (We are keeping the beautiful trophy 😂)

We really appreciate your kindness and friendship and it was great to see you all.

We visited the National Funeral Exhibition today and as always it was excellent. It was lovely to see so many of our friends in the trade, many of whom were exceptional in helping us out when we set up L-B&H, and many have been our friends for three decades. And we seem to be bumping into Robin & Wendy Roberts all over the place! It was also brilliant to see the wonderful innovations that so many companies are bringing to the funeral profession.

Great to see….
