Aren't they beautiful?
The annual muddle of Mothers' Day is upon us. Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK and it wasn't forgotten. This is not so easy for offspring who live in France because there, the Fête des Mères will be on 29 May, along with a few other countries. Most of the rest opt for 8 May.
Public service announcement (because it's one of the most frequent searches coming to this blog).

No doubt someone will want to standardise the date but I rather like the diversity, not least because I stand a chance of having a double celebration.
In Thailand its the 12th August which is the Queens birthday. To Thais she is know as the "Mother of Thailand."
ReplyDeleteHi A. --
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you blogging again. Re Mother's Day: I remember moving from the UK to US and being perplexed to discover that Mother's Day fell/falls on different days there.
Incidentally, my BA graduation ceremony fell on a Mother's Day -- an American one that is! :)
The flowers are beautiful. I thought so when I first read this post and now that I come back to comment, they are even more so. But no one could forget a mother like YOU on Mothering Day.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to standardize the date. :)
No problem; I forgive you :-)
