My beautiful flowers for mothers day.
Dulce, my lovely cat, was not too happy as was out all day he was shut in the kitchen after tearing up the new carpet and ripping the net curtains down. But the cat flap was open so he could have gone home. A few bites when I got home, but he is OK now.
These flowers do smell lovely, and the green vase is the one my mother said always had to have the first daffodils in it when Spring comes, but excuse my french, boody freezing here today in not so sunny Enfield.
Beautiful, Borlotti, aren't children wonderful.
I got my lovely kumquat, 2 lovely cards ( 3 children) but phone calls off the 2 lads, telling me they love me. Plus, I got to spend the weekend with my beautiful daughter, her husband and 2 of our grandchildren. Couldn't have had a better mother's day, apart from it being bloody freezing in the caravan and the boiler freezing up overnight :toothy10:
I had a beautiful bunch of scented lilies from my son. My favourites.
I also got to cook mother's day lunch for my extended family; my mum and dad and sister and her family.
The house was filled with much laughter in freezing cold Chingford.
I spent the morning at the walk in centre in Salisbury as I wasn't very well again.
When I got home though, I had chocs and a card from one son and a phone call from the other one, so the day turned out to be special after all. :sunny:
Isn't this a pretty card, from my lovely daughter :happy7:
My lovely Thai daughter-in-law cooked us all a delicious Mothering Sunday lunch in a small house that I and my son have just bought together (for them to live in) with trust money that he inherited most unexpectedly from his long dead father via his suddenly deceased step-mother (she killed herself, sadly, last summer) to which I added my own savings, having found a very generous second husband.
Maybe too much information, but I wanted to say that after many difficulties and two tragic deaths, and my son's illness (CFS), we seem to have entered calmer waters. I have a lovely and affectionate DIL (and my own two lovely daughters and their husbands who are nice to me). My son, whose life seemed set on a sad, lonely and difficult course, is transformed by "the love of a good woman" as they say.
Oh dear, I am feeling very sentimental. Thank you for starting this thread.
The only problem is that UKBA consistently refuses to grant her a permanent visa. I WILL deal with that eventually. :BangHead:
Hey Artichoke, that's a lovely story. Not too much information at all, rather for every other mum who wonders what the future holds for their son, is is uplifting and full of hope.
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad that life is finally smiling on you :-)
