Our lads from the Duke of Lancaster Regiment marched through Clitheroe today. They have been given the freedom of the Ribble Valley. I was there and it brought a tear to my eye seeing all our brave men parading through the town. There was a massive turn out. Made me proud to be British! We remembered the nine lost and many others who were wounded in Afganistan.

Well I can't believe it's nearly december! My Autumn went in the blink of an eye and now it's winter! I've been so busy, but I managed to squeeze in a charity calendar for The Duke of Lancaster Regiment.

It was organised by Mandy Paul who sadly lost her nephew Jordan in Afganistan this August and the Calendar was to raise money for the injured of the Duke of Lancaster regiment. A really good cause and one which I really enjoyed doing. Calendar Girls style but with a glamourous edge. Here are a few for you to see, but you can buy them from Hudsons Ices in Chatburn or go to http://www.digigoprint.co.uk/duke-of-lancasters-calendar-c-115.html?osCsid=c0c3b191fb633fa819d553a9850559f7 Please support this cause as I know all the money goes straight to the regiment.
