Today is Mother's Day, and I've been a bit distracted in the past 2 weeks so it only occured to me on Thursday afternoon that Mothering Sunday was traditionally the time when girls that were in service as maids and the like returned to their home villages to see their mothers and so I should do the same, but that point it was a little late to call and say I'd be going back to Hertfordshire on Friday.

So I'm an idiot.

But I at least remembered to get the card posted out on time, which is a rarity for me.

I've mentioned before that my Mum is very talented, what with sewing wall hangings and Doctor Who purses, she's also a very good cook even with two out of her four children being ridiculously fussy eaters.

Therefore a very big Happy Mother's Day to my Mum!

(I know I said this would be a V&A Museum post, but I forgot what today was so the V&A write up will be next weekend).

Have a nice day everyone!

Mothers Day!

A quick post because it's late. Here in the UK it's Mothering Sunday today, so I went back to my parents for the weekend.

We won't mention my brother crashing his car on Thursday (he's fine, the car has been written off). Friday was spent having a nice wander around Cambridge, Saturday involved watching DVDs with Youngest Little Sister, and then today Mum got gifts and cards from her four children, myself included.

I also agreed to make dauphinoise potatoes for lunch. However I'm used to cooking for myself, using a gas oven. Today I cooked for three adults (me and my parents, my siblings do not like cream let alone cream with potatoes) and was using an AGA. There was a moment where I thought it was all going to go wrong, but eventually the potatoes cooked fine and tasted very nice indeed!

So Happy Mothers Day to my Mum! Pictures of my brother's written off car may come in the week if he agrees to let me publish them XD
