Mothering Sunday

pink_carn-rose_bunch.jpg 

Here in the UK, it’s  Mothering_Sunday. My Mum was quite religious, a member of the  New_Apostolic_Church, so I always sent her a card and flowers. She died 12 years ago last Thursday, I have placed some sunny daffodils on my Kitchen table next to her photo. 

I was woken by oh who asked me what I wanted for breakfast?

He then served me a great breakfast in bed of organic scrambled eggs and bacon on wholemeal toast, then I had a long soak in a bubble bath and ds2 gave me a bottle of rose wine , a lovely card and the Sunday morning papers!!!

So far I have had a lovely day, I have been really lazy just laying around reading the papers!! aahhhh!  I think I want all my Sunday’s to be like this!!!
