I’ll be meeting up with my two daughters for a nice lunch. Looking forward to it.

I know I said yesterday I was doing nothing, but I went to church for the usual Communion service and we were all given some beautiful daffodils and a piece of simnel cake - we are all viewed as Mothers by the church. It was a lovely service 💐

Best Mother’s Day in a while.
Yesterday and today son and I washed window frames and windows on three holiday cottages including glass balustrade in front of all three
That’s fantastic cos this time last year I only lasted half an hour on both days

My 2 youngest daughters took me to a local pub for Sunday lunch, it was delicious.

Mine has been a disaster!

I woke up feeling unwell, went into the conservatory with my breakfast, found a hyacinth plant had toppled over and spilled soil everywhere, broke the bottle shelf on the fridge, spent ages online trying unsuccessfully to source a replacement, burned my finger and slept for two hours because I felt terrible.

Oh well, there is always next year! wink

Beautiful cards and presents son number 1 came with family yesterday lovely afternoon. Son two and three called in for breakfast and many teas. Lovely to see them all very grateful.

Early celebration lunch in a Tapas bar in London with my daughter yesterday. Stopped for a cocktail in a rather comfortable hotel lounge, then finished off at a very old pub for coffee to watch the rugby! Today, I went for a dog walk with my son and one of my granddaughters in the rain! Then went for a lunch time drink with my son and had a very long chat, which was lovely as we don’t get the opportunity very often. Had cards and gifts too. I’m very fortunate. (Brought them up on my own from when they were one and two years old and am so,proud of them.) 💐

A lovely day,
Chocolates from my daughter. Elder son sent honey marmalade and younger son sent daffodils via M&S - highly recommended. They were beautiful.
Lunch with OH and daughter at my favourite restaurant. Delicious food and plenty of fizz. We dropped daughter at the station on the way home and I’m now relaxing on the sofa with the papers.

A smashing day, lunch at my daughters, who with my son reduced all three of us to teary eyed laughter, bemused grandchildren and MrJ.

Church this morning where the children all said lovely things about what their mothers meant to them and all of the mothers where given a small plant, taken around by the children. Then collected my DM aged 92 and met DD and her family for lunch. Received lovely card, a bag for my holidays and the teenagers gave their grandma and me daffodils. A bit of an expensive day as although mother's day the lunch was my treat to them but felt loved and appreciated.
