Mother's Day...

Sun 2 Mar 2008

Not sure how I feel about writing a post about Mother's Day. I am very aware that today is probably a very difficult day for Iain and Jules without Fraser, I am thinking of them both and hope that they don't find the day too tough.

I'm woken at 6:45 by Amy (as usual!) and send her back to bed for a bit! Is that cruel? About 20 mins later she re-appears with Joe and Isobel! They come in bringing cards and gifts for Mummy! I have decided not to do a ride today and enjoy the day with the family. We are going out for lunch at The Malt Shovel with Sally and her kids and Nan, so there are 4 mothers to give thanks to!

Before lunch we go to St Joseph's church in Burntwood, a lovely mass - the kids went out for the children's liturgy and also made more cards Mum - flowers, with messages in the petals saying why the love Mum! I get chance to say hello to Peter and Valerie Kelly and thank them for sponsoring me.

We have a great traditional Sunday lunch (I managed 3 starters care of children's left overs!), a good play on the park and a kick about with the football that Jack and Joe appeared to enjoy! Back to my parent's for coffee.

A lovely weekend, and am feeeling much better about cycling again after spending time with my parents and feeling their support and enthusiasm for what I am doing!
