Mothers Day

April 1, 2011

This weekend we are celebrating Mothers Day and, as my Mum is sadly no longer with me I am setting off today and visiting her ashes in The Lakes. She is scattered freely up Skiddaw so I will climb up there with my hubby and daughter to spend some quiet time with her.

My Dad and Stepmum are also meeting us tomorrow to visit my sister’s resting place, at Friar’s Cragg, as her birthday would have been next week. This will be a weekend of reflection which I always look forward to believe it or not and return feeling energised.

These few select pieces below are lovely gifts Rachel and I would have chosen for our Mum from Heart Gallery so I hope you enjoy looking at them too:
