Mothering Sunday 2014

You know how, traditionally, mothers are allowed to lounge around and be looked after, have breakfast in bed and everyone else does the work on Mothering Sunday?

Well, having been ill since Wednesday, the shine has worn off the lounging in bed bit for me, and I suspect the rest of the family are getting a bit cheesed off with the 'everyone else does the work' part too. However they are carrying on stoically without me.

Here are some of the lovely things they gave me to mark the day and share the love.... thanks guys!


These are from gorgeous daughter who, having watched the programme where Joanna Lumley met Will.i.am, tried to copy his habit of only sleeping 4 hours a night. She has now discovered she's Rose.i.ain't! 


She looked up origami flowers on the internet and made these beauties overnight. I expect she'll nap later on today = )


Here's some seriously happy chocolate.


Stephen's message apart from "Giving flowers is stealing. Do cards make you angry?" (not keen on being asked to feel officially grateful because the day says you should) was "Have Mother's Day Gold", which is a very generous sentiment usually adapted to any occasion: Birthday, Christmas, Thank you etc.
There was also a fabulous book but more of that and its consequences another day....  oooh, suspense!
