Apart from watching the Six Nations rugby match between France and Wales, I spent much of the day reading William Makepeace Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair” which I began earlier in the week.
At sunset we all drove down the coast road to join Becky and Ian at
Britannia Thai in Milford on Sea for a Mothers Day celebration meal.
Jackie, Becky, Flo, and Ellie sat together for a photoshoot, then

spread out a bit.
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening, with lots of fun, a few presents; and the usual excellent food served with friendly efficiency.
Different country Different Mothers Day. Lovely for you all together
Thank you very much, Catherine
Four generations of women. What a fantastic shot. Perhaps convert it to black and white and print professionally for a treasured keepsake down the ages? Imagine Ellie showing it to her own children…
I aim to do that, Gwen. Thanks very much
How wonderful to have four generations together! God bless your family, Derrick. ????????❤️????????????

As we celebrate Mother’s Day in May, I was happily surprised by a Mother’s Day greeting from my son in Glasgow yesterday 🙂 As for “Vanity Fair”, it was on a pre-reading list for my first year university course in English. My mother had to get a copy for me on inter-library loan – it was an ancient (I was only 17) copy that hadn’t been read for decades. Then, in 2004, I bought a ticket to watch the film (we still had a cinema then). When I realised I would be the only one in the audience, I asked the projectionist if he was still going to screen the film. “You have bought a ticket,” he said “and I have a job to do.” It was great fun.
Thanks very much, Anne 🙂
How wonderful!
Happy Mother’s Day. In Italy we will celebrate in May
Thank you very much, Luisa
You’re most welcome, dear Derrick!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of them. A wonderful title for the post–and a beautiful photo to cherish. (I agree it’s one to have printed and framed.) ????
