Hello and welcome to my blog. UK visitors will know that last Sunday was Mother’s Day. I was utterly thrilled when Younger Son contacted us to say that he would be coming over for a few days: Mother’s Day with all three of my chaps! What a treat!

Well, I had a wonderful day. I was fortunate to receive some lovely gifts from my two sons, lots of hugs and cuddles, plus a totally scrumptious dinner. We were treated to beautifully cooked steak with dauphinois potatoes and a vegetable medley, with trifle to follow. I forgot to take a photo!

On Wednesday my treats continued. Elder Son and I went to a lovely local café for a delicious afternoon tea. I even managed to eat most of my share. Once again, I didn’t take a photo. It was beautifully presented, so that really was a missed opportunity.

I tried to arrange my gifts for the photo, honestly! Not one of my greatest skills…

You can see a pretty scarf and toning earrings from Oliver Bonas, plus an amazing purple orchid and miniature daffodils (my favourite flowers).

These are the items from Oliver Bonas:

I wore the scarf and earrings to the afternoon tea on Wednesday with an all-navy outfit: cashmere v-neck, cord trousers, shoes and handbag. Adding more colours would have been overkill, I think.

Here is a quick photo:

Happy weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
