Such a thoughtful thing to do 😍🥹

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and awareness campaigner, Lauren, has for the fourth year running created this beautiful memorial by the lake.

Lauren has kindly left a box in the cafe with blank ribbons for those who would like to add to the memorial with their baby's name and free keepsakes to take home with them for their own baby.
