*non-food related post*

3 years ago I was bringing in a delivery for the larder when this wee man was passing by and asked if I wanted a hand...sure I said, come on in!! And that is the story of how Leanne met Tommy Broon!!

🎉 On Friday we celebrated his 70th birthday, but we had another surprise planned - a get together on Saturday under the guise of a quiet pint!!

Tommy is a very humble, selfless, appreciative person. He is a fantastic volunteer - always willing to help and have a good old natter.
Thanks to everyone who helped me plan this.

So for all our larder members who know and adore Tommy like we do, here are some birthday memories ❤️
