How the 'mandb' came about

That should really read M&B because that is how it started.


We made some Plum Jam in 2008 and thought we'd nick the Marks and Spencer tv advert line "This is more than food, this is M&S food". See link below. Substituting a 'B' for the 'S', and specifying Plum Jam instead of simply food.

By the following year we added the first line and played with the words to make 'more than' read Morden (where the plums grew in my garden). We also added a year, which someone had suggested we should.
2010, we made Chutney for a change and called this latest offering 'Chum Plutney'. 


This year it's back to Jam.

Bella Mia

Our 5th Anniversary Celebrations
Joining us: (clockwise from Margaret, at the top of the table) Josie and Jimmy, Jackie and Robert, Grant and Najib and back again to Bill.
We went to 'Bella Mia' on York Road, across from Margaret's flat. A very friendly family run Italian restaurant, which has not been open long and deserves to succeed. Delicious food and great value for money. So below is the link to their website. Lots more than just pizzas it should be said.


Calling all locals - use it or lose it! Would be a real shame if that happened.
