Mothers' Day UK

 Different from the date in USA ,this is Mothering Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent when traditionally servant girls were allowed to visit their families and take a gift, usually a Simnel cake made with ingredients from the big house kitchen (think Downton Abbey) or wild flowers from the woodlands around.

Simnel cake is saved for Easter these days
Happy to receive lovely flowers from my daughter.
