Better Late Than Never!

Not only am I an unreliable blogger, I am a unreliable daughter too.

Yesterday was my Mums birthday and I totally forgot. To be fair I thought today was the 25th not yesterday, but that's no excuse especially in the days of smartphones with alarm reminders. It is so bad that she had to ring me early this morning to see if I was alright. So I've not only forgotten to say Happy Birthday but also made her worry! *hangs head in shame*

I love this picture so much, it has really captured a sweet moment between them, and have you spotted my Mums fabulous glasses!!! 
Luckily I am popping down to see my parents this weekend, so at least I can apologise in person, armed with a big box of chocolates, but I thought as an extra apology I'd share my favourite picture of my mum and grandma (more on my grandma in the next post), taken by my keen photographer Granddad in the 60s.
Happy Birthday Mum!

  3. Happy birthday to your mum! I'm sure you more than made up for it with birthday hugs on the weekend. Such a sweet photo too - they both look so happy and natural.

  6. What a great photo! My Mum's birthday is the 25th too, we spent the day together trying to plumb in my washing machine (after 4 years of sticking the hose in a nearby sink). Ah, the glamour! ;) Hope you had a great time with your Mum x
