Mothers

Mother's Day was celebrated throughout the UK yesterday - Mothers were woken by their loved ones eagerly awaiting to shower them with tokens of love and appreciation whether they be in the form of a cuddle, homemade card or breakfast in bed.

Mothers are so special - they always sense when you are feeling down or need reassurance or even a cuddle. They always know the right thing to say. Everyone needs their mothers whether they are little or big so always show them that you love them not just one day in the year!

Where has all the time gone...

I cannot believe that it is now March....

We had a lovely January celebrating Scott's nana's 90th birthday - It was aoperations fair planning her birthday. Scott's mother put a lot of thought into the day what with a lovely birthday cake, gorgeous flowers and high tea at Woodborough Hall - fantastic location around the corner from the cosy church that Scott and I got married in.

Our friend, Jayne re-scheduled nana's hair appointment from her usual Wednesday appointment to the day of her birthday so she looked her best on her special day. We always phone her on her birthday so despite taking the day off from work, we decided to tell a white lie or 2 while still in bed, Scott phoned to wish her and then I called her, both pretending to be travelling to work and that we would meet up with her on the Saturday to celebrate - little did she know that in a few hours we would be celebrating in style.

Scott's parents picked her up and took her on a scenic route so as to give Scott's cousin, Mark and his partner enough time to make it to the hotel before her arrival.

Well...when they arrived and she walked towards the doorway and saw Scott, Jen, his sister, Simon, her boyfriend, Mark, Richard, grandpa Alec, Auntie Joyce and me, she started to tear up which triggered Scott's mom, Jen and myself to tear up as well!

All I can say is that she thoroughly enjoyed herself - the cakes, scones and sandwiches were all delicious and so was the glass of Moët and tea....!
