  13. We are many people doing many tasks. But the most rewarding role I have had is surely being a mother to my girls.

    Thanks Helen!

  17. Over here we celebrate Mothering Sunday a couple of weeks before Easter - a day when servants were sent home to spend time with their mother, they would have been needed to work over the Easter holiday itself.

    Hope you had a great day

  19. It took a moment for me to get the Mothers Day connection. Of course, in Bend, the Magpie comes home to roost on Sunday while here it is already Monday and all the Mothers Day stuff has gone and we are looking at shop displays for Winter Solstice! Happy (belated) Mothers Day too.

  20. Cool stuff, Helen! I know that Mother's Day in Denmark is "Mors Dag". There are collectible commemorative porcelain plates that are a beautiful blue.
