For those of you who still have mothers, or indeed have children who have, will you be doing anything to mark Mother's Day? We're not really the sort of family who does, but today, by way of a twist, we're taking a fairly "posh grub" based picnic in our backpacks and riding to the top of a mountain to eat it. Like you do. 😜
"She" seems happy with that idea, but even if she isn't really, it's her own fault because she made me go to IKEA yesterday and there has to be some form of reparation for that doesn't there?
Will you be doing anything special?

........... because she made me go to IKEA yesterday....... ....I find it surprising you've managed to find your way out in time for today's outing......

Both sons in the UK. Daughter with us for the weekend and was meant to bring with her, the Mother's Day gift.....
When Espadrille called her mother last night, daughter realised that gift was still at home...
Anyway what better Mother's Day gift than sitting on the beach in 22C and bright sunshine?
PS. Anyone visiting IKEA with their spouse deserves a lobotomy.

Mum died last September so noboby to send cards/flowers too any longer. Will never again feel guilty cos I forgot....
Daughter and Son live in Torpoint and Liverpool respectively and work commitments plus daughter's new puppy made getting here impossible. They did co-operate to send Mrs B flowers. I was in on act to ensure we remained at home until they arrived. Fortunately a midday delivery slot made being at home a simple consequence of serving brunch at 11:45

Same as always, a phone call from wherever in the world that I am. Not very difficult these days, but in times gone by it was, at times, incredibly difficult.

....Arjeplog was pulled out of the air as a random Swedish town. Just checked, and it is indeed an IKEA product - a pendant lamp......... .......sounds more like a toilet-roll holder to me
