For reasons known only to a handful of English dowagers, Mother’s Day (Mothering Sunday) falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent in the British Isles. I suspect that this vacillating date was established both to test British boys’ piety and to confuse the young lads, potentially leading to a full year of maternal guilt.
Z, with a bit of help from a little bird, passed both tests and gave Dr. O’C her first Mother’s Day gift.

Oh, I was wondering in your last post why you were Mother’s Day shopping so early! Now I get it. That picture is PERFECT! I might just have to swipe it and paint it. A housewarming gift for you guys when you move to Australia or something.
Happy Mother’s Day (late) to Sinead!
