And whether the words are: "I love you", "I’m sorry", "Thinking of


you" or a plain "thank- you," a floral gift is the one thing everyone never


fails to appreciate. For proprietor Mrs


Kathleen McDonald, the opening of the Floral Basket in February was the realisation of a dream. To make it even more perfect, daughter Donna Marie Dyer was able to join her mother in the business. Good news spreads, particular­ ly around Clitheroe, and the duo has now been joined by a third mem­ ber of staff, Mrs Rose­ mary Barrington. Both mother and


daughter trained as florists at Myerscough College, where Donna is currently taking a quali­ fication in advanced floristry. The Floral Basket is a

A HALLOWE'EN hoe- down brought a scary-look- ing collection of young ghosts, witches and ghouls


to West Bradford. Yet their mischief was in a


good cause - raising money for the charity Children at Christ­


ie's. The hoe-down was organised as a


family fun night by the management and guests of West Bradford's Three


Rivers Caravan Park. I t was held in the on-site club house and featured folk band the Moon and the Castle. Revellers were fuelled by a potato


pie supper, made by site residents Mrs Barbara Greenwood and Mr and Mrs Barrie and Marilyn Thomas. The site's residents and holiday visi­ tors launched their Children at


Christie's appeal in June and have already collected £1,100. They antici­ pate proceeds from their Hallowe'en party will significantly boost this


total. (P271001/4)
