This means whenever husband or I visit Holland we gorge ourselves on the ready supply there!<BR/><BR/>Irene, thanks. And frankly, I think the Dutch have a much more realistic attitude to the whole mothers day thing - they don't get frenzied up by the media like we do!<BR/><BR/>Thanks More Than, and yes, the thought did cross my mind that those who no longer have mothers must find this a very difficult day. <BR/><BR/>BM, gah! Just, GAH! (And how do those peas get everywhere, I'ld like to know?)<BR/><BR/>EPM, my pleasure! (Your mum can send thankyou letter to my e-mail...)<BR/><BR/>Sharon, absolutely. Though fatter than me, obviously. I don't need any competition around the place, you understand...<BR/><BR/>MM, glad to be of help!<BR/><BR/>Frog, oh, the laundry, I forgot to mention putting the laundry away!

As for not having to make decisions.. so with you on that one.<BR/><BR/>Today I made a shepherds pie and left it in the oven along with peas boiling away on stove, for my husband to give girls lunch, while I went to hairdressers.<BR/><BR/>Get back 2 hours later. Shepherds pie all gone but CARNAGE in the kitchen. Food everywhere, peas in the furthest darkest corners of the kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Took me half an hour to clear it up.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.<BR/><BR/>BM xBush Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527939624765411649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-68977379669431429952009-03-07T18:11:00.000+00:002009-03-07T18:11:00.000+00:00Potty, Mother's Day without a mother must be as di...Potty, Mother's Day without a mother must be as difficult as those who long to be mothers themselves. It can be a really hard day for so many people, and sometimes I think it's easy to overlook that. Anyway, went off on a bit of a tangent there...<BR/>Nice piece ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-58723857379612383192009-03-07T17:43:00.000+00:002009-03-07T17:43:00.000+00:00So very often when I read your posts, I think, "I'...So very often when I read your posts, I think, "I'm reading in the wrong generation," because you're still dealing with little kids and my daughter is 35 years old and has a son of her own. <BR/><BR/>Even mother's day will not be the same for us, because my daughter lives very far away from me and I doubt she will remember to send me a card. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, mother's day is no big deal here and I am hardly going to notice the day. As a matter of fact, I think it is celebrated here on an other date all together.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I hope you have a really nice one and that your wishes for the day come true.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-44249062635911009092009-03-07T16:49:00.000+00:002009-03-07T16:49:00.000+00:00Sounds perfect, although, fortunately, my bottom w...Sounds perfect, although, fortunately, my bottom wiping duties ceased about 16 years ago, (a liberating moment)so that is one thing that doesn't have to be arranged. <BR/>I would be quite happy with the Simnel if not the cake - marzipan being a bit of a thing of mine or better yet to be surrounded by large white lilies in a silent and sunny room decorated in pale colours and indulgent fabrics lolling elegantly on a chaise longue wearing something Sarah Bernhardtish and dry clean only . In fact, thinking about it, the perfect Mothers Day would be one where you could forget you were a mother - ironic huH ?Titian redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130121166864903946noreply@blogger.com
