Mother's Day

It's forty three years since I sent my mother a Mother's Day card.  I lost her on my birthday in July 1976.  She was only 59 years old and as I am well past that age now, mother to three amazing children, grandmother to ten, and continue to live life to the full, I know and lament how much she has missed.

She was a lovely, gentle lady and a wonderful mum, and although I haven't been able to go out and buy her a card and rock up with a big bunch of flowers to say I love her and thank her for being my mum, there hasn't been a day since I lost her that I haven't missed her.  Whatever age you are, you always need your mum!

The wild cherry is just coming into bloom and so here is my card for Mum today.  Simple and beautiful, and she would love it.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
