Happy Mothers Day!!!!

What a beautiful day to celebrate Mother's Day! I've woken up to brilliant clear blue skies and sunshine. Perfect.

Both my daughter and I are going to be spoilt today ( ) they're all coming over to me in a few hours and then we'll be off out for lunch. Looking forward to my fleurs!

Hope every Mum gets spoilt rotten today!

Yes, Happy (belated) Mothers Day to all! I hope you all had a lovely day.

I had some absolutely beautiful flowers that smell divine, some of my favourite chocolates and was treated to a delicious lunch out with my mum, sister and all the family too. I haven't lifted a finger all day either - what could be better?!

Hi Judith,

That sounds perfect, too!

My daughter, darling grandchildren and SIL all arrived much earlier than expected - which was lovely. They arrived all holding bouquests of Spring flowers - it was a lovely moment! We then sat around drinking coffee for a bit and then after I'd got ready we all went off for lunch at a local restaurant. Of course, it was my daughter's Mothers Day too - so were both spoilt One of the nicest meals I've had too!

I always smile to myself on Mothers Day because everywhere you go you see people walking along carrying bouquets!

Mine was good as well.....had lovely dinner with mum and sisters in country pub.......the real biz.....we spoiled her rotten....

All of my adult children and grandchildren came to visit me, I received some lovely flowers and cards.

I specifically requested that we kept Mothers Day low key this year, as my wonderful daughter in law's brother was killed in a very tragic accident last June and as we are a very close family, her mother is still in great shock and it made me realise, as a mother, that material items do not matter, as the best present this mother would only ever want would be to hold her son in her arms. A very sobering thought, and only a 'normal' mother would understand that strength of maternal feelings which go with the title of 'mother'. As I was once told, children make your arms ache when they are little and your heart ache when they grow up.
