Oh granb was it their first baby? It is heartbreaking to be a parent without a child. I found that the worst - when people would ask "Do you have any children?" Once you have given birth, YOU ARE A MOTHER so a very very sad day for them

There is a grandparents day in UK. This year it's 9th September (it's always in September). Personally, I don't agree with it, as it's just another attempt to exploit people. Having said that, I love Mothers day - I have a Mother and am a Mother.

See. I knew it wouldn't take off here! 
absentgrana if you're reading this, I think I've solved the mystery of simnel cake being for Easter and Mothers Day! Apparently the girls were allowed to bake it and take it home for their families to keep for Easter. You weren't supposed to eat it on Mothering Sunday. (Oops!)
I suppose they wouldn't have been allowed home actually on Easter Sunday. 
Daughter told me this (mine of information
