Mothering Sunday


Although I didn't actually realize it until I was given lovely homemade cards and kisses, yesterday was Mothering Sunday here in the UK...or Mother's DUK as George referred to it. I was pleasantly surprised to get a bit of the royal treatment and cards that said lovely things like: Happy Mother's Day, Sweet Cheeks.
Luckily the British weather cooperated too. We had a beautifully sunny day with temperatures in the 60's. We all thought it sounded like a fantastic idea to splurge on a big bucket of greasy chicken from KFC (which Emma pronounced phonetically much to our horror) and to have a picnic at Roath Park in Cardiff. We were hoping to take a boat out on the lake, but apparently it is a bit too early in the the season, so we just made ourselves happy with sunshine and park...as well as ice cream. Sophie demonstrated that ice cream is not only a delicious treat for eating, but also makes a brilliant facial tonic and hair treatment. Gotta love drippy chocolate sauce!
So Happy Mother's Day to all you British (and non-British) Yummy Mummies. You know us... we'll surely be celebrating again in May... any excuse, and moms surely deserve at least two holidays every year, right?
