Mothering Sunday

As everyone knows that in Britain today is Mothering Sunday, a day where we show ours mum what they mean to us. For me it is a day where I reflect on all the memories of my mum and wish that I could talk to her just one more time. Soon to be two years ago my mum passed away after a short battle of cancer, this is when I saw my mum in her finest hour. She faced such a scary thing yet she did not think of all the negative things, instead she planned her own funeral and made sure we had one last trip to London to see The Phantom of the Opera.  Here is just 5 of my best memories;

My beautiful mum

1. Chapel Porth

One time when we were on holiday in Cornwall, my dad, mum and I were playing with a football on the beach. Suddenly my mum tried to chase after the ball however she managed to trip over the ball and fall face first in the sand. What made it even funnier is that she left hand marks in the sand where she slipped over.

2. After pub parties

Me and my family used to go to this pub every Sunday to have nice meal out. However when it shut my mum always wanted more of a talk with my family so she would insist they came back to our where we had more drink. Halfway through the drinking at our house she would bring out party food for people. This always amazed my family that she was so organised. She was always a true hostess.

3.Crazy golf

Another time on holiday in Greece I persuaded my family to play crazy golf. Halfway around the course my mum suddenly tripped over a brick that was used on the sides, now my first instinct was to start crying which I did but then I saw the funny side. If that wasn't bad enough is at the last hole where I went for a big swing though the problem was that my mum was standing close behind me so I managed to hit her on the head. After that game we always called crazy golf an extreme sport. 

4.Mum's alcohol advice

When my mum drank which was at any occasion she used to give off great advice to my family. This used to humour my dad and I greatly. Although now when I drink I seem to carry the same habit!

5.Garden evenings

When the summer was here me and my mum used to sit in the gardens with candles on the table and a glass of wine. This used to be so nice as it made you feel really relaxed after a hard day at school/work. One time she drank so much baileys that she got the talcum powder and was waving it in the air trying to catch it.
