The recipient of this issue▓s bouquet is Sue Rawlings of Kilburn. She was nominated by Mrs Tracie Anne Wood also from Kilburn. Here▓s what Tracie had to say:

⌠I would like to nominate my friend Sue Rawlings of Kilburn to receive a bouquet of flowers. I am a mother of four and approximately five years ago when my youngest was three, I decided that I wanted more out of life, so I went back to college.

Sue supported me in this challenge and also collected my youngest from nursery. Three years ago, I found full time employment and now five years on Sue is still picking up my children. She is also like my Personal Secretary organising my family and keeping me sane.

A big thank you to Sue from me and my family.■

⌠I decided I wanted to give my very good friend David Allan from Belper the first ever Belper ▒Friendship Blooms bouquet. David, originally from Newcastle-upon-Tyne was a massive help to me when I first launched my original magazine in June 2007. Since then, he has been a huge support and has even helped with distribution of the magazine (despite having had a knee replacement operation earlier this year). David is a true ambassador for Belper and likes to shop locally whenever possible. Thank you David, you▓re brilliant!■ Karyn Milner, Publisher, All Things Local.
