We had a quiet start to Mother's Day. No imperative forced us to get up, but my body clock insisted that I was out of bed by 07:30. Coffee and breakfast were taken at our leisure, and then I started to prepare for lunch. At this stage, it was unclear who would be here - Kim, Zoe, and Ellie were definite, but Darren and his daughter Millie were possible, too. In the end, Darren and Millie didn't come.
Kim turned up first. She had been at home watching her Mother-in-Law's funeral as it was streamed live from Spain. (Jon was attending in person). We had a quiet 45 minutes with her before Zoe and Ellie arrived. The leg of lamb that I had roasted was excellent and everyone seemed to enjoy it along with all of the trimmings.
When lunch was over, we chatted through the afternoon until Kim had to leave. Soon after, Ellie was seriously flagging, so Zoe took her home and left us to a quiet evening in front of the TV. It had been a nice celebration of Mother's Day.
