Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone who is either being celebrated or celebrating/remembering their own mother. My boys are not at home but Peter sent them reminders yesterday. Peter brought me croissants for breakfast in bed and some fudge on behalf of the boys (bad move giving up chocolate for Lent). I had a brief email from Linas in the morning and Romas has sent me an email saying that he has been trying to phone but we were out. Vytas phoned in the efternoon and it was good to have a chat. This family have never been into making Mother's Day special once breakfast has been delivered and cards given so as usual it's back to normal for the rest of the day.

It was sunny first thing this morning so we went to Barricane Beach. It's so refreshing to watch the waves and feel the sea air.

The tide was still coming in so was no rock pooling today so instead we walked around looking for shiny shells and small pieces of sea glass. Not for any particular reason but simply because it is there, a kind of magpie instinct.

Too soon we could see a shower approaching from beyond Morte Point. We just had time to drink our coffee before the rain began to fall.

Back home it cleared up again and Peter went off to row. I got on with more gardening for a couple of hours until another shower sent me running to take in the washing from the line. Peter has just got home and it doesn't look as if there is any special dinner planned so I shall get on with making some supper before we settle down to watch Dancing on Ice. But it has been quite a nice day.
