Today is Mother's Day here in the UK and it has been very lovely indeed.
Sunshine, chocolate banana cake for breakfast, a huge cup of earl grey and lots of homemade cards. That is what greeted me this morning. Also a few beautiful items from my favourite shop, hubby knows it well.
Tristan was up extra early baking this cake and yesterday he helped his friend Lukey wash a neighbour's car for which they were paid five pounds. He then went to the local shop and spent his share of the earnings on these daffodils and a huge pack of chocolate biccies for me for Mother's Day. Sniff, sniff.
Gracie has been making cards for me for days and helped daddy with a bit of shopping yesterday and right now dinner is being made without my help. Why can't we have more than one Mother's Day per year?
I'm a very blessed mummy. It's not an easy job but oh so important.
A big kiss to all mums everywhere. x
Aww Joanie, what a gorgeous Mothers' day you had ! Made me sniff sniff too ! How many little ones do you have ? I have two sons almost 7 & 4 1/2. Mothers' Day will be a bit later in the year over here, but I'm very happy to read that yours was so delightful ! :) xoxo
