Freesias

This wasn't my original choice for today but their perfume was so strong when I sat down to post my blip that it was almost as tho they were trying to attract my attention!

Today is Mother's Day and I have spent it with my son. We have had lunch, pottered round the shops, had coffee and watched the world go by outside a well known coffee chain and just chatted. He bought me lots of lovely things, but the best gift he gave me was his time.

I am lucky enough to see my daughter every day, so today she and her partner travelled to Wales to be with his mum.

Both of my children have been pillars of strength for me just recently and I cannot thank them enough. I have been sad and unreasonable and probably quite tedious company, but both of them in their different ways have smoothed my raw and jagged edges and made me smile when I didn't think it was possible.

I am blessed and I love them.

My mum is no longer with us, but I made a cup of tea in her honour.

Happy Mother's Day
