Mother's Day 2013

I forgot to write about Mother's Day, which in this country was last weekend on March 10th this year.
Rhodri usually goes for a bike ride at 8am on Sundays and he acted like he was still going to go on this day. But then he didn't actually go, and instead we had a little breakfast party in our bed with croissants and pain au chocolate and some lovely cards. Perfect! It was such a nice surprise. We got crumbs all over the bed, but vowed to change the sheets later that day so it was no problem.

I got some really nice cards from the kids, and Rhiannon had written a poem which I will take a photo of and upload later...

We just had a leisurely day with not too much happening except that we had dinner reservations at a pub that we had never been to but had passed by a few times, always noting that it looked like a really nice pub. Our reservations were for 5pm and most of the day was leisurely and cold. In fact it was snowing when we got to the Crow and Gate pub.  It was very busy but we had a nice meal together. Actually the actual dining experience was probably a 5 out of 10, but most of that was down to the arrogant, surly waiter we had. We'll probably give it another try someday. Overall, a really really nice Mother's Day.
