creative distraction

I distracted myself from Mum's birthday by making a new dressing gown at the ministry of craft. It was lovely to stretch a different part of my brain and feel completely absorbed in creating something.

Later, dinner with the siblings and stepdad. Later still, a lively night out street pastoring.

Mum would be 64 today, still a young age, she would have celebrated in style with something delicious - maybe a cherry scone and a glass of fizz. I still find myself spotting gifts for her in the shops and I catch myself bookmarking recipes that I think she'd enjoy next time she's over.
