27.1Mothering Sunday and this picture pretty much sums up the two sides of the coin which reflect the day for me.

On one side of the coin I am so blessed to be Mummy to these fabulous small people. They bring me great joy and pleasure and I am enormously proud of them for their kindness and compassion for people as well as their achievements and successes, Oh, they are also enormously stubborn and frustrating at times but I think we call this character building.

On the other side of the coin is the constant reminder that my Mum isn’t here and it is now 8 and a bit years since she died. So much time has passed but her absence is still obvious at special occasions. I am hugely grateful that I had such a wonderful Mum and she taught me so much about mothering, things that I never knew I needed to know. I wish she was here to ask about the bits I forgot to learn though.

Two sides of the same coin but both remind me that I am hugely blessed; for what I have and what I had. I am a lucky mother and daughter,

For Christmas we bought the children a new, large trampoline. It is about three tunes the size of the one they have before. Since Christmas it has sat in boxes in the garage since but today The Mister put it together whilst I took them to the cinema.

To say the live it an understatement!

I have ridden my fabulous new bike to work every day this week.

What has become abundantly clear is that his name isn’t Dilys, but Basil.

Basil the bike also has nw panniers and he looks very handsome I think 😀

23.1My Auntie Josie bought me a glorious bunch of tulips when she came for lunch on Sunday.

Some of them are starting to fade already but they are so beautiful and vibrant.

22.1

This evening The Little Mister and I spent about an hour at the Emergency Department.

He has a weird and unexplained rash so we went to get it checked out. The rash is still weird and unexplained but he is otherwise well so it is a game of wait and see.

He was very disappointed that we got seen within 5 minutes of arriving – he wanted longer on his Kindle!

After work today I popped to check on Dad and see if he is feeling ok – he is still positive for Covid.

When I arrived at the house both cars were there and his bike was missing so I knew the only place he could be is the church manse where they are doing some refurb work so I went to meet him.

It made me smile to be able to go on a little bike ride home with him 🙂

I love entertaining but I have been quite poor recently at inviting people over. Life is just so busy that it is easy to make excuses.

Today Auntie Josie and Uncle Howard came for lunch along with out friend Kayleigh. Even if I say so myself I cooked a pretty mean roast beef lunch with all the trimmings. I also through together this incredibly easy and very delicious Lemon Meringue Fridge Cake. It was good.

More than anything though it was lovely to catch up with Auntie Josie and spend some time together – she is looking pretty fabulous for 80 I think (don’t tell her I told you that!)

Today was an important and an exciting day! I went to collect my new electric bike!

I am so happy with it and the most important feature of it is that IT’S RED!!

The man in the shop was rather bemused about my excitement but I am so happy with it.

Her name is Dilys.

Eric loves The Mister. He will always choose him over me and he will follow him around.

They were enjoying this cuddle.
