It is also the weekend when British Summer Time starts and the clocks go forward at 1.00am on the 30th ... you can read more about that here
For those of you who may be interested here are three 'Mothers Trivia' facts.
When the female embryo is only six weeks old, it makes preparations for her motherhood by developing egg cells for future offspring. (When the baby girl is born, each of her ovaries carries about a million egg cells, all that she will ever have).
Above facts from here
If you should be celebrating Mother's Day, have an especially nice day.
~ I will be very fortunate, as I will spend time with family over the weekend ~
Forever in my heart
Forever in my thoughts
Forever in my life
My mum is always with me
Thank you Mum
I'll always love you
All the best Jan

Have a lovely day with your family. Today also marks my own dear mother's birthday anniversary. She would have been 97.
Have a wonderful Mothers' Day weekend.
Hello Jan :)
It's very interesting that in most countries mother starts with the letter M. Here in Portugal it is Mae. We don't celebrate Mother's Day just yet, but on the first Sunday in May. Enjoy your day with your family tomorrow and your cherished Mother.
All the best

A lovely post Jan and thank you for reminding me it is Mother's Day in England. Beautiful sentiments at the end also. My own dear Mum always enjoyed our bunch of daffodils we gave her on Mother's Day, this is a lovely memory jogger. Happy Mother's Day!

Why is it a different day in different countries? Every day should be Mothers' Day ... although it would cost a lot in flowers and chocolates ...

Hello Victor and thank you for your two comments on this post.
In the UK Mothers Day has it's origins with Christian tradition stemming from the 16th century when Christians would visit their "mother" church on the fourth Sunday of Lent. So the reason the date of Mother's Day changes in the UK every year is because it has to do with Easter.
However, in many other countries it is just seen as a date to honour mothers and countries have set their own dates.
It has of course become very commercialised and as you say if we were to celebrate every day it would get very expensive with the price of flowers and chocolates.
On a personal note I have enjoyed a wonderful Mothers Day with my family and now look forward to the coming month of April.
Wishing you and all readers a good week ahead.
All the best Jan
That's amazing about a female creating about a million eggs. Happy MOther's day ...was it yesterday... Beautiful flowers.
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful day celebrating being a Mum! Very interesting facts you shared.
Aunque he llegado tarde, Feliz día de las Madres. En España se celebra el día 1 de mayo. Un abrazo.
A lovely post dear Jan 👌♥️
In our Urdu language mother word starts with M as well such as “Maa” though in some communities it starts with A followed by M such as Amma or Ammi
How nice you celebrated your mother day with family 🤗♥️
