I am stuck at the PC working, well mostly working!


Sat working at the computer here too. It is bitterly cold outside
today. I want a dry sunny day to do some weeding.

Me too, most of today anyway, arranging menus for Mother's Day and
putting more plants onto the web site etc. It seems to take forever and
I end up cross-eyed! And of course, the sun has come out just as it's
almost time to close for the day. The rain was very welcome though -
it's quite a while since we had enough to do real good.
In GB it is Mothering Sunday, a festival associated with the Church.
Mothers Day is a commercial festival invented in the USA

Are not most 'festivals' especially those of the church, not money making
schemes for someone? And those who attach themselves to them looking to line
their pockets?

Kind regards

Not this one. It was designated a s a day when anyone would be free to
visit their 'Mother' Church - the Church where they were chritened
