Good Morning Sunday

Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who has children or young people in their lives. ? I’ve been out to wish all my ewes a happy Mother’s Day and have attached a picture of one young mum and her rather tiny lamb! I have been spoilt with cards and mugs from my lovely sons and DiLs but how I envy all of you grans who will see your children today! Patience.... it won’t be for much longer but what I’d give to hug them ?. I had a very frustrating night last night as I was in bed at 10 but didn’t get to sleep until after 1am. My brain was just too busy and wouldn’t switch off - so annoying as I had to be up at 4am to do the lambing shed check. I’m going to be tired today zzzzzzz! We’ve got a meeting this morning with a friend who is helping us with a planning application for change of use for a yard of ours. We seem to have different views of the best way forward with it so it could be tricky but hopefully we’ll end up with a clearer vision. In the afternoon I’m supposed to have someone coming to buy 5 of the orphan lambs but I find that quite often people don’t turn up so we’ll see. At least the horrible wind that we’ve been having for the past few days seems to have run it’s course - strong winds are my very worst weather.
Best wishes to Bellasnanna for tomorrow and to anyone else with events due in the forthcoming week that they are dreading.

Good morning Mick and all from a dry S Welsh coast. A Happy Mothering Sunday to everyone Susan wishing you a safe journey to see your mother and thank you and Cherry for thinking of me over recent weeks. It is also my birthday today, we are having Sunday lunch delivered from a small local hotel/pub, looking forward to that.
Thinking of all with pain and worry and those for whom Mothering Sunday is a very poignant day.

Good morning all from a brighter Essex.

Ashcombe your blanket is lovely. It means so much when someone has made it especially for you.

Bellasnanna I’m glad you’re feeling more positive. Just get through today and tomorrow and you can relax. ?.

Granmattie Mother/Daughter relationships can be tricky. She has sent you a lovely card, so you know how much she cares. ♥️

My DS1 and family will pop round , so I’m glad the sun is shining to be able to sit in the garden for a short while.

DS2 will FaceTime later with his little gang .

DD will either FaceTime or pop round for a doorstep chat. I’m cross with her at the moment, so we shall wait and see. ?

Well I hope you all have a lovely Mothering Sunday in one way or another. ?

What a lovely sky outside to start Mother’s Day here in Nottinghamshire. I’ve just opened my cards from three of my children - the other will pop hers into our drive this morning as she is quite local. I wish she could come in for a drink and a hug, but it won’t be long. Yesterday her elder sister dropped off a lovely bouquet of native flowers made by someone from her village, it is surprising what she can produce at this time of year.
I was especially touched by a little bouquet from my daughter in law saying how welcome I’d made her into our family! She is a lovely young woman so it wasn’t hard!
What a lovely blanket Ashcombe, and special as it was made just for you.
What a shame, Bellasnana, that your Mother’s Day treat is a drink of vile liquid, and best of luck with your procedures tomorrow.
Have a lovely day everyone, it’s a good day to spot a random flamingo!

Good morning all and Happy Mother's Day. It's breezy and 4° in Polmont. I'm up early for a Tesco delivery. Whatever possessed me to order one for this time? The side effects of the vaccine have subsided thank goodness. Ashcombe that blanket is beautiful. What a lovely gift.
Bellasnanna my good wishes go to you for tomorrow.
I've nothing much planned for today. I'll nip over to mum's in a while with a card and gift. Dd and family will call in later. I'm not a great fan of Mother's Day to be honest but it will be an easy meal for me. Steak pie, mash and turnip then lime cheesecake, all courtesy of Tesco! I rarely have ready made anything so this is a treat for me. Grandmattie I much prefer potatoes to rice! But enjoy your roast. I hope you all have a good day.

Happy Mothering Sunday?

We are off to see my mum later for the first time since Christmas Day.We have a haul of her favourite things from M and S food hall.

Lovely blanket Ashcombe.

I have had deliveries of flowers and cakes and theatre tickets for September ?? so am feeling very blessed and lucky today.

Glad you are feeling better Bellasnanna and good luck to you and corner with the prep?

Thinking of all our absent friends and all with worries and sadness?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another cold but dry start to the day.
Happy Mother’s Day to all, I received lovely cards and presents from both DDs, DS doesn’t usually send anything but I’m looking forward to speaking to him later on our regular Sunday video call ?
Beautiful blanket Ash how thoughtful
Nothing planned for today, I think I’ll just have a lazy day pottering at home and maybe a bit of gardening.
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today, however small and if you’re meeting up with family - enjoy! Take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning everyone from a damp but mild south Manchester. We are forecast heavy rain from mid afternoon.

We have chilli for lunch (with rice granMattie!) made by Himself’s own fair hand so no cooking for me today. Stepfather will join us as per and as it’s Sunday = wine day and there’s a nice bottle of Pinot Noir to be enjoyed with dinner.

I have flowers for Mother’s Day to share. My girls will be phoning me later.

Hope Sunny is good to us all. Glad you’re getting on top of your anxieties Bellasnana. Are you having a well deserved day off from your steps today Alygran? Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning and happy Mothering Sunday from DD's in East Northants. I am still tucked up in bed, but have peeped through the window and it is nice and bright, but still windy.
It was a good day for us rugby fans yesterday - a win for Northampton Saints and England; it must have been because I was wearing my lucky socks and Saints top. was taken in celebration! Then DD cooked a lovely curry last night.
Not sure what is planned for today, I'll just wait and see.
What a lovely blanket, Ash; you will enjoy using it I am sure.
to all.

Good morning and happy Mothering Sunday from North Yorkshire.
Not sure what is planned for today other than DD2 cooking roast beef for dinner later. It’s lovely to have someone else here. She came armed with flowers and wine on Friday.
Will be speaking to DD1 at some point.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it could be doing anything outside, I haven’t ventured out yet or opened the curtains.
Happy Mother’s Day to one and all. Today I am pottering, my favourite activity?
Take care all of you.

I forgot to mention how lovely you blanket is Ashcombe.

Good Morning and a Happy Mothering Sunday to you all from Severnside. It’s dry and light.

I have just been downstairs to make my first cuppa and was busy thinking about something so when I started to come up the stairs I realised I’d made my breakfast as well. Oh well it doesn’t hurt to treat myself given the day.

Off to my bubbles for lunch. My daughter has asked me to come between 11-12, not sure why, under normal circumstances I would think we might be eating out. Perhaps she doesn’t want me to go early and be jumping up and down on their bed ?

Have a lovely day everyone whatever you do ?

Good morning and Happy Mothering Sunday to all,(We don’t celebrate in Malta until the second Sunday in May)

That’s a lovely blanket Ashcombe, some people are so talented and creative.

Thanks for all your support yesterday, I apologise for being such a wimp. I think I’ve got a grip now.

I went for the Covid swab ( ouch! Nobody told me how painful it is. I felt as if she was digging into my brain)
Result came back negative so all clear for tomorrow’s ‘oscopies’.

Speaking of all clear, that’s how I shall be spending the afternoon, drinking the vile liquid prep. cornergran you will be doing likewise tomorrow, it’s the worst part isn’t it.?

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️

Happy Mothering Sunday to all mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, childminders and all who have care of children, from a dry but breezy Torbay!

Amongst other thoughtful presents (Boots token, fizz, etc), I received this beautiful blanket, made by my son's partner. Clever lady - I wouldn’t know where to start! And in all my favourite colours, too.

I’m playing the piano for church as usual then looking forward to a family Zoom this afternoon before my daily one with DH.

Have a lovely day, everyone and remember how special you are! ?????

Happy ?Mothering ?Sunday ?you all . It is clear and bright here in E Kent. Sun ☀️ all day?
Got a lovely card from DD, full of unexpected sentiments, which was really lovely. Our relationship, certainly on my side, is walking on eggshells.
Nothing today, I doubt I’ll hear from my DSs. What will be nice is that not only is DD officiating in church today, but she and the girls will be taking the children’s corner in the service.
I told DH that it being MSunday, I would roast the chicken with rice rather than potatoes which I don’t care for. I could eat rice at every meal.
I hope that every has contact with their loved ones today, that it brightens ☀️Their day nd gives them the courage to plug on.

Happy Mothering Sunday ? everyone from a dry and dark north Wales where I’m about to trot for a newspaper then enjoy my chamberpot ☕️

Will pop back later and read about your bizziness once you’re up ......
