A mum in a million enjoys great meal she hasn’t cooked herself!


MOTHER’S Day was certainly memorable for one Clitheroe mum in a million after she won first prize in our special com­


petition. Mrs Hazel Carden, who


was nominated by her daughter, Mrs Wendy Ish- erwood, enjoyed a mouth­ watering meal at the Auc­ tioneer Restaurant. Mrs Isherwood nominated her mother after the love and support she gave her fol­ lowing the death of her daughter two years ago. In her prizewinning


entry Mrs Isherwood said: "When my little girl died two years ago, mum was my saviour, despite her own grief at losing her precious granddaughter. The help and love she continues to radiate gives me much


strength."

The two Ribbles- dale High School pupils knew exactly what to do and their sensible and prompt action, along with that of Gary's, ensured Mr


Varo's recovery. He visited them later in


the week to convey his appreciation in person and also presented them with a large box of chocolates. He is now waiting for further tests into the condition. On Thursday, mother-of- seven Mrs Simpson discov-
