The Alice

A belated post on Mother’s Day: though not technically a mother yet the day did not go unnoticed or uncelebrated.

It began with breakfast in bed and a couple of cards:

One from Will (with a soppy message that I won’t re-print as I don’t want to threaten his hard-man persona) and one from Baby H.

We then had a great day of lounging round in our pyjamas watching crap TV, Skyping the in-laws and de-cluttering our lives on to eBay. I believe we watched 8 episodes of Come Dine With Me (my favourite) before Will decided he couldn’t take any more and we had to switch to some Sky+ goodies.

It was a very good day.

I’d also like to say Happy Birthday to my very own Mum – next year will be her first as a Grandma! She also had a good day today (I think) at the Rugby in Cardiff with Dad. Luckily the flowers I ordered for delivery today (doh) still found their way to their house despite them not being there. Here she is with Dad (looking like a massively camp snooker player or magician) at Christmas time:

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, I love you very much. You’re the best Mum in the world, and will be the best Grandma, too xxxx

A photo of me and my lovely Mum, in our hotel in Cheltenham this weekend. We were drinking virgin Mojitos and eating olives whilst waiting for our table to be ready. I hope I look as good as her when I’m in my 50’s!
