Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums out there! (Tulip)

My Mum sent me a pic of the flowers I sent her yesterday, I’m pleased they arrived in good condition! Sent her a little gin gift too, a sort of sampler of pink gins. All done through Moonpig, which I hadn’t used before.
It was great to be able to add some photos of us both to her Mother’s Day card too! 🌷🍸

Thank you Julia! I do hope you’re having a really lovely day, despite these strange times were in! 💞

Thank you, Kate.
It's good to know that flowers sent by courier are of quality. Your gift for your Mum is a smasher. I wouldn't have minded a 'gin-taster' either. My hyacinths and daffodils are scenting the hall. Like yours, Kate, very noticeable (but lovely).

Thank you Kate! Those flowers are gorgeous! Expecting my daughter and grandaughter this afternoon for a visit, keeping their distance of course ! I miss the hugs!

They look gorgeous Kate ... I bet your Mum was thrilled to receive such pretty flowers.

Thanks Kate....The flowers are lovely for your mum, a lovely thought. Yes I sometimes use Moonpig and they are very good.

Thank you, Ange, I hope you have been having a lovely, well deserved day today! I was pleased with the whole package from Moonpig, I shall use them again. My mum likes a little glass or two occasionally, so, I thought the different types of small taster bottles would be just ideal.
I bet your daffs and hyacinths are a lovely mix of Spring colour, plus the added fragrance too. 💐

Hi Rose, many thanks, I’m pleased I must say. I do hope you have a smashing Mother’s Day with your daughter and granddaughter! It’s a pity about no hugs and kisses, isn’t it! We shall all be making up for the missed ones very soon!
Enjoy your day 👩‍👩‍👦

Thanks Linda! That’s good to hear that you’ve used Moonpig also and you’ve had a good service. It helps to hear this.
I hope like the others, you’re having a lovely day, despite all this surreal life everyone is leading still... hopefully you’re having a relaxing, well earned special day 🌸🍸

Thank you Eileen, she was pleased! The gin was well received also. Hope you’ve had a lovely, relaxing Mother’s Day too - lots of spoiling! ☺️.
Thanks Paul! Hope your Mum had a lovely day too! 🌷
Thank you kindly Klahanie! I recall it’s May you celebrate Mother’s Day - you must remind us on the day - hopefully you’ll be enjoying a special day then! 💐
Thank you Mossy, I hope your Mum enjoyed a really lovely Mother’s Day too - I’m sure she’ll have been very happy with your flowers too. 💐

Yes Kate she did enjoyed them very much ,but it was not Mother's day today but I do this often ...mother's day is on the 30 of May

14 Mar, 2021

 

Sorry Mossy, I would forget it’s not Mother’s Day in France!
However, I think it’s really lovely you send your Maman flowers regularly. You can’t beat receiving a gift of fresh flowers...

Well done for being so “techy” ... bet your Mum was thrilled.

Mossy - it’s the same in Australia too, Mother’s Day in May 🙂.

Thank you Kate yes I did thank you .😊

Very thoughtful of you Kate, esp the gin samplers. I'm sure she was well pleased.

16 Mar, 2021

 

Thank you Paul, yes, she was pleased! Hopefully I can either travel up to Ayrshire or they can drive down here in the next few months!

That's wonderful Kate. Those are very precious moments with your mum. Savor every one. My mom has been in the hospital since December recovering from an injured leg and covid. I haven't seen her since but I can drop off gifts for a nurse to deliver for me. She'll be out soon! I'm curious about the pink gins. Is it raspberry flavored? Such a unique idea (besides chocolates).

17 Mar, 2021

 

Sorry kate a very belated one here ime afraid,computer problems all week ,havent been able to log in .Lovely flowers for your mom (bet she loved them) ,and the gins sound very pleasant lol.We had similar flowers from our children but no gin ! i will have a word ,haha.Sorry Bg to here your moms in hospital hope she recovers fully,covid is an awful thing ,stay safe all .

Sorry Paul, I missed your message! Yes, it’s been some year hasn’t it Justin so very sorry your Mom is still hospitalised, she’s been there for such a long time and the fact you haven’t been able to see her or give her a hug..it’s so very sad. I do hope and pray you will see her very soon as you say! It’s obviously been a very difficult time for you.
As for the gin, it was called the pink gin collection. It’s only a set of 4 (tasters) I guess one gin serving. One was wild Berry, one was plum and vanilla, another raspberry and the 4th Gordon’s premium pink. 🍸

Hi Kevin, no probs! I’m sorry you’ve had issues with the computer - pleased it’s all sorted now. Thank you!!! Mum sure enjoyed the Mother’s Day gifts.
Not sure what my sister Pamela bought her, but, I do know she made her a home made strawberry cheesecake!!! She’s a fab baker!
Yes, I’d definitely have a quiet word with those kids - 😁😁

20 Mar, 2021

 

Thank you Kate. I talk to her on the phone every day. She is slowly getting stronger daily and we are looking forward to her going home though I might have to hire a live-in nurse for her. Would be nice to hug mom again. xx

20 Mar, 2021

 

This is good to hear. You’ll be counting the days..
I guess you’re having to plan ahead at the moment with your Mom’s needs. This must be quite difficult too. I’m hoping things run smoothly for you, Paul. Xx

21 Mar, 2021

 

Thanks Kate. Things are very difficult indeed having to manage her needs as well as hospital staff, insurance, amendments to her home and interviewing live-in nurses. It's all coming together but it's very exahausting work for me. Thanks again for your well wishes. XX
