Today it’s Mother’s Day and may I take this opportunity to wish all mothers a very happy day.
Mothering Sunday is always held on the fourth Sunday of lent, exactly 3 weeks from Easter. Traditionally people visited the church where they were baptised, their mother church. It was also a time when workers ‘in service’ would go home and visit their mothers.
Nowadays it is a day to honour our mums and shower them with cards, gifts, flowers and love.
Unfortunately I’m working all day so won’t see much of my lads or my mum.
On Friday night my brownie and rainbow units held a tea party for their mums, they made flowers, cards and tea for them to celebrate their special day. They did so well and were fantastic hostesses and their mums loved it.
