Happy Mothers Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day in the UK .. it was chaos in my Tesco today with panic buying of cards and gifts .. it was quite amusing to see the look on some folks faces when they were trying to choose from a handful of rubbish cards left on the shelf!

I have bought my Mum a box set of 8 Hollywood Musicals it contains classics such as Irving Berling's 'On the Avenue', Betty Grable in 'Pin Up Girl' and 'The Dolly Sisters and Carmen Miranda in 'The Gang's All Here'......

Bearing in mind these films were mainly produced in the 40s I was shocked to see that the DVDs have a PG rating and 'contains mild sex references and horror'!!!! Surely not??? Wasn't the time before the 60s in films pure and wholesome family entertainment???

Happy Mother's Day to all us Mums :-)

I have noticed over the past few days someone has put up an impromptu gallery up on the wall near the car park I use ...... I wonder who it is ... it makes me smile as every day there is a new sketch ...so thank you..... I just hope the rain stays off

So in 1980 we had thick snow in 2009 we have had glorious Spring sunshine but I did wake up to frost and definite chill in the air all day today.

Today/tomorrow (depending on time zones ) is Mothers Day in the UK... so I wish all the Mothers out there a VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.. may you you put your feet up, have breakfast in bed and be appreciated for all that you do & smell the flowers :-)
