The M Word

Not trying to be overly sentimental, but being a mum has been the most significant, most rewarding part of my life. So it was lovely to receive, via the same delivery van, two beautiful bouquets of flowers to mark the day. It surely goes without saying that my children are the most remarkable offspring that anyone ever produced, and here they were proving it. I knew at once which flowers were from whom, but as I arranged them in vases and went to photograph them to demonstrate their beauty the camera told me it needed its battery charging. Perfect timing, thanks camera. Here they are though; I snapped them as soon as I could.

This morning I found a fish in cheese sauce dinner in the freezer, placed there a month ago but forgotten about. And though I had an empty wine rack I did find an opened two-week-old bottle of red wine, enough for a glass and still not too bad since I'd pumped all the air out. That's my supper organised painlessly then. The woodburner is lit and it's nearly time for Call the Midwife and The Night Manager. Sunday night bliss. Cheers, to mothers everywhere.
