In the midst of trouble, sometimes a happy day can shine out, lighting up all the others.
It started with a beautiful hand-made card from Emily-
And from the kitchen came wonderful cooking smells as the two of them created the most scrumptious meal
The chefs were satisfied
And David and I were completely happy too
I'm not very keen on puddings but my very favourite chocolate was brought out with great ceremony...
Heaven!
I felt well loved and truly spoilt, I am so lucky to have my family.
And finally Sam brought out his card for me, so in character- simple, succinct and says it all...
It has been a very happy Mothering Sunday for me, I hope yours was too.

I love her quirky collages!
Then David nobly drove us both to the Artisan Spring Fair where we had such a cheerful, friendly day, with good sales and great customers.
Back home that evening, Sam set the table and the scene
with candles, flowers and a bottle of my favourite Freixenet, it looked perfect
The room was lit up and seemed full of colour
And from the kitchen came wonderful cooking smells as the two of them created the most scrumptious meal

Glad you have a lovely time. I had the very same, very lovely, choc bought for me by my little 8 yr old man with his own pocket money. M x

DeleteHello Jane:
ReplyDeleteWhat a simply splendid Mothers' Day. It is so wonderful to be surrounded by the love of family on this most special of celebration days. And, the lunch does look to have been delicious, prepared with care and, no doubt, served with appreciation for everything you have done and continue to do. Lovely!
Hello Jane and Lance, It was a lovely meal, I think we all felt happy to be together and celebrating the end of winter and the beginning of brighter days ahead. Jane xx
DeleteJane what an absolutely perfect day you had with your family, I had a wonderful Mothers day too. It is so wonderful to love and be loved isn't it?

DeleteI love your beautiful cards so nice they were handmade too. I had a lovely day and it was my birthday too so I was very spoilt. On Saturday we went to a book fair in Lewes and six vintage children's books came home for my Mothers Day present from my two boys. Our children are so precious aren't they and enrich our lives so much. Love your beautiful header too. Karen X

DeleteBookfair, vintage books and home-made cards, we do both enjoy the same things! I'm glad you like my header, I love quince blossom. Jane xx
