Mother's Day

It was Mother's Day here in the UK.

I wish I could have celebrated with my little boy.

But instead I started my guerilla campaign to drop forget-me-not* seeds around town.

And then we took my Mum and Dad to see the snowdrops in an old church yard on the moors, stopping for afternoon tea on the way.







*It's a native British plant so I'm not being too naughty.

  1. I love that you dropped forget me nots around town. Such an appropriate name for a flower. I wish George was in your arms today helping to make your Mother's Day extra special. xx

  10. I just LOVE the thought of seeing you wander aroud with a sprinkle here and a sprinkle there!

    I didn't realize there were different Mother's Day dates, but well...that's probably my ego-centric American lack of information (honestly, ignorance is the word I should use, but hate to be so ugly to myself! :)

    It sort of seems weird saying Happy Mother's Day when it is a reminder that you are a mother who doesn't have her baby with her to celebrate and how could THAT be happy? So, I'm going to hope and pray that you were able to find some peace in it and relish in the gift that was your sweet boy.

  11. lovely snowdrops- and wonderful idea about the forget-me-nots.

    Hope your Mother's Day was peaceful - it will also be lacking and inadequate - but it can still be filled with love

    xoxo
