The clocks will go back by one hour at 2 am on Sunday, 25 October. This will mark the end of British Summer Time. An easy way to remember which way the clocks change is to think of the seasons: in spring the clocks 'spring forward', while in autumn they 'fall back'. #AutumnFalls

Flowers for a funeral often include traditional, symbolic blooms such as white lilies (purity), roses (love/respect), carnations (sympathy), chrysanthemums (loyalty), and orchids (eternal love). Flowers are chosen to convey sympathy, often in arranged wreaths or sprays. #funeral

Mother's Day is on Sunday, 15th March. Known as Mothering Sunday, it always falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent. "A Mother's love is eternal, so is her absence".

Ash Wednesday is a holy day of prayer and fasting in many Western Christian denominations. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and marks the first day of Lent. Let it remind us of our humanity, our need for grace, and the importance of turning back to what truly matters.
