Happy Mother's Day

For the third year I get to celebrate being a Mum. For me, just to have the joy of being a mum is enough, but I got cards and flowers and a nice lunch too!

I also got to spend Friday with my Mum and her Mum. Another thing for which I am so grateful. Both are amazing ladies and despite the fact that I look forward to returning home again, being close by these two women is great. My Nana will be 99 in July and still lives in her own own home. This does require quite a lot of support from my fabulous Mum, but they both just get on with it. BB loves spending time with them too. I am so happy that he has this opportunity to know them both.

BB insisted that the card we made for Grandma was also for Gramps, and we got to spend Saturday at the beach with both of them, plus my sister H. The weather was quite lovely for the time of year - 20ºC at the coast. It seemed really sunny compared to how its been, but the photos give away the low level of UV we have gotten used to over the winter months when I describe this as a bright and sunny day!

It was great to be out though, we got to make and break sandcastles, fly a kite, and throw rocks into the sea (BB's favourite thing of the day). Then we explored the fairground, BB bounced on the bouncy castle and threw himself into the ball pit a few times, much to the amusement of his audience.

I was spoilt with gifts and cards too. BB made a lovely card for me at nursery

He also went with Daddy this morning to buy some flowers and another card - in which he has drawn us at the beach throwing rocks yesterday.

DD also made a lovely lunch, with Prosecco, and helped BB do this with the Aquadoodle mat that we  currently have on loan from a friend.

It was a lovely day.

Somewhat ironic though that Mothers across the UK lost another hour of sleep today.

Brilliant that British Summer Time has started though. May it be a fine one!
