Good Morning Sunday 15th March 2026

Madeleine. Try O'Keefe's Working Hands cream on your split lip. It's wonderfully healing.

Thank you for the welcomes to Durham. I spent 4 years at
Newcastle University and went to Durham regularly as a friend’s boyfriend was at the theological college there. Nothing beats the sight of the Cathedral as you approach the city on the way to N/c.

Me neither GrandmaC47 but we often play it down, so we aren’t over-run? 🤣

Liberty I hope you enjoy your visit to Durham. An underrated area with so many beautiful areas. (I’m not biased, of course 😀)

Good morning everyone from rainy Lancashire.

MrB and I have been for a pleasant walk around the Marina. It’s quite chilly again today and raining quite hard now.

I don’t think it matters what today is called, it’s a day to honour and cherish mothers and all that they do. I miss my lovely mother so much, it’s always rather a sad day for me.

As always, thinking of those with troubles in their lives.

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

Madeleine what a lovely post! When I’m over this damned cold, I’m going to put my picnic basket in the car as you do, with supplies and look forward to little trips out👍

marydoll it’s usually “Mother’s Day” here in Essex.

Good Day Everyone kindly enjoy yourself as I'm

Happy Mothers Day everyone, with special thoughts in advance.

Good morning from a wet Mother’s Day in the northwest coast.
Flying DD arrived from the south yesterday with flowers etc., and is cooking tonight. I have such a heavy cold I can’t taste anything, so am just nursing it and waiting for it to go…
Thoughts to all🌺

You're welcome 😊

Happy Mothers Day everyone, with special thoughts those for whom it brings sadness as well as joy x

GM, I am aware of that. However, I was commenting on the fact, that it is not a term used here. I have never heard anyone use that.
Commercialism has taken over.

*MD, Mothering Sunday is traditionally the 4th Sunday of Lent, where servants were allowed to go home. Also where one went to the “mother church” where you were baptised. Little to do with actual parentage.
In many other countries,Mir is celebrated in other months - in France, it’s the last Sunday of May.

That’s so clever Annapops, a lovely wreath.

Dd messaged me to wish me Happy Mother's Day. The boys, just turned 4 and 7 brought her breakfast in bed. Dsil is working. She got a bowl of blueberries (she doesn't like them) a tub of sweets and a cup of squash, all lovingly presented on a chopping board. They were very pleased with themselves 😂

Good morning from Durham.

Afternoon tea at DD1 yesterday was a lovely treat. Today she is being spoilt by her own DC.

DS and DD2 expected later today. I never for one moment take the time with them for granted and really feel for anyone estranged from their loved ones.

We're off to the cemetery shortly with my homemade Mother's Day wreath. I'm really quite pleased with how it's turned out. Her youngest GGD created the pom poms which I think is a really nice touch.

Wishing all a peaceful day.

Morning from a bright S Hants, rain due later, yesterday was glorious.
Two brilliant rugby games yesterday, particular the one last night.
I’m expecting both children to call in at some point today, I’ve said no fancy flowers, a bunch of daffs suits me thanks.
We may go out for a drive later once they’ve been, gammon shanks for dinner.
Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning from the east coast and it’s dry and bright.

Yesterday we had a lovely day with the DGDs. I took GD2 to her swimming lesson while DD prepared her party in the church hall. GD told me how well I’d done getting her to her swimming lesson and knowing the way. She said ‘Grandma my mummy will be so proud of you’ I wiped a tear away. She is just so sweet.

I may have to take mums little dog to the vet this morning as I got a pannicky call yesterday to say she has been licking the little sock the vet put on her paw on Thursday and when mum checked she had opened part of her wound. She was due for the stitches out tomorrow but we may need to take her this morning I’m waiting to hear from mum. I can see her getting bandaged up again for another few days.

I expect the DC and GC to pop in today and bring some flowers and they will be so appreciated. I must get our porridge on now.

Wishing a day with a moment of joy for everyone today 🌼💐

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where its dry and the sun is shining (a little) but Alexa says showers are forecast and the high will only be 10°C, brr.

L’il Miss will be here within the hour as the Boy Wonder has a match with his other team this morning (this boy loves his football). He’s tall, has a slim torso (all the football and training) but is muscular and solid - good attributes for a midfielder.

We will play dominoes, cards and I began teaching her how to play Scrabble yesterday and she loved it! It’s nice to chat away and steer clear of iPad games for a few hours. One good thing us grandmas can do that costs no money is to properly engage and listen to their chatter. It’s a joy really, having time to really do so.

Later I’m invited over for a roast lamb dinner. I shall walk through the park and I think I’ll pick up a bottle of Moët from the larder en route - we’ve decided to have alcohol with this Sunday dinner and I can use some of that money I received from the jeweller!

Belated birthday greetings, Georgesgran. I am a bit befuddled this morning.

Good to see Multi posting. ♥️

Librachick, did you have a different username? I have been on GN for twelve years and don't recognise your name,

Good morning all from the Black country.
Quiet day here DS is taking tomorrow off and spending it with me, today he is doing something with the boys and DiL.
Good to see you posting multicolour.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a bright sunny Cambridgeshire.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone💐 It isn’t an easy day for many for lots of reasons and my thoughts are with all those struggling. I will remember my dear mum today it is my sixth year without her but dementia took her away many years earlier.
Lots of lovely memories tho.

I hope everyone has the best day possible 🌸🌷🥰

Good morning Mother's Day from Glasgow, where it is 7° C. No'one here calls it Mothering Sunday. I wonder if it is a regional thing.

I spent yesterday in bed, life is such a struggle ar the moment, I feel constantly unwell.
I woke up yesterdayto find DD, standing over me, checking I was alive. 😁
She and SIL had already sent flowers on Friday.

Later on Friday, my lovely DIL and DS arrived with more flowers.
This was her first time out, since her discharge from hospitalk, brought down to visit by DS1. ♥️

DD and SIL arrived yesterday with cakes and lunch, which unfortunately I couldn't face. She had a further surprise for me, a trip to the posh charity shops, when I'm feeling better.
I am spoiled.

Today, we are expecting Babydoll and her parents. I still feel awful, but I will need to make an effort. We are still recovering from Thursday's drama.😍

Marzipan, the last book my SIL bought me was, Lost Railways of the West of Scotland, I have a stash of them.I find it fascinating, discovering lost route.

I hope you feel better GM, it sounds like you have one of those viruses doing the rounds. Plenty of rest is what's required.

I hope Roses is OK.

Baubles, are you celebrating? Like you, as many I have a split personality, when it comes to rugby.

Have a pleasant day folks and a special mention, to those who sadly, cannot celebrate Mother's Day for whatever reason. ♥️
I plan to stay in bed for as long as possible. !

Good morning from another lovely sunny morning. DS and family are coming for lunch today and the DDs will be with their families as they live 200 miles away in opposite directions.

They usually send flowers but I asked them not to do so this year as we are off tomorrow on a coach trip with our local company to Durham for 5 days and I knew that I couldn’t enjoy them at their best. DD1 has just messaged to say she hopes I’ve got her card. I haven’t. We only seem to get post twice a week and nothing here since last Wednesday!

Hope today is a good one for all.
