:-)) Chucking it down with rain here on the South East coast of the Isle of
Wight. Glad about that really because I had to empty a water butt a couple
of weeks ago to fix a leaking tap. In emptying one, because they are linked
together, it half emptied the others :-(( and we have had days and days of
sunshine. Enabled me to turn a massive compost heap though !!! :-))

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.

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

Our customers/fellow villagers/friends/children use a combination of both
those names. Mothering Sunday and Mother's Day are one and the same in
terms of those who observe them, whether they go to church or not. Does
the Church of England have a Fathering Sunday btw? We're always very
touched to see how many mothers, of all ages, come along with their loving
families to have lunch on 'their' day. So while their offspring are
obeying "Honour thy Mother", on which day are they expected to "Honour thy
Father" because in our experience and while we do special dishes for
Father's Day, too, there seems to be no church service that observes that
day. Or is there? If not, I wonder why. Do you know of such a service,
such a day in the Christian church's calendar?

With so many broken marriages and multi parented families, would it be a
'profitable' and viable thing to have a Father's Day? Think PROFIT.

Do many of today's children know who their Fathers are?

What's this Rain?
We had enough moisture in the night to mark the car wind screen, some
cloud first thing this morning but then sunshine all day.
I've ricked my back so taking it easy, but did prune 12 of my vines,
hope to do the rest tomorrow.
I've taken the first dahlia cuttings but so far there are only a few
showing much growth, I lost about 40% of the tubers I lifter I just
couldn't get them to dry properly,
Just hope I can build my stock up again this season.

No, it rained until this afternoon and I was down the pot sowing early peas
in the rain. Having started planting whilst the rain had stopped it then
started again for a while!

We are enjoying a few days with no rain, unlike the past 6 weeks when it
seems to have been continually wet and muddy. We took on a rescue 3 year old
Golden Retriever just before Christmas and walking her in the mud has been
no fun at all, so we are really looking for to things drying out.

Just had the mower out for the first time this season, not so much to cut
the grass as to clear up all the sticks and other debris. Surprisingly it
found quite a lot of grass that needed cutting.
