Thanks, AS. 
Youngest son and family are on their way round to see me then eldest son and family are picking me up later on and we're going to a lovely little 'tea room' in a nearby market town.
It's a beautiful sunny day too, clear blue skies etc.

Mothering Sunday is a Christian religious festival held on the fourth Sunday of Lent in most of the Catholic and Protestant world, not just the UK.
It has been almost entirely hi-jacked by commercial interests.

In the US it's in May.

Sunny here as well. But still cold.

Nice one Ameriscot.
My Wife is not feeling very happy, because she has not even had a Mother's Day card from either of her two grown up sons.
No 'phone call's.
Nothing.
Still, I think I made up for it a little bit, because I gave her a lovely Mother's Day Hubby card, and a big box of chockies!
That is quite a few brownie points I earned there!

I don't doubt that's when you are told, by the commercial interests, to celebrate Mothers' Day, but in the Christian calendar Mothering Sunday, which is what I was talking about, is the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is the same in all countries and is calculated from the the date of the first full moon after March 21st (that's how Easter is calculated, and Lent comes with it!).
