Cherry Pie And Mothers love.....

Happy belated Mothers Day to YOU all. 

I do hope you spent it with those you love....

The quote above I wrote on a plaque this week, for a little person to give to their dear Mum......It made my heart smile!

I spent my weekend in Birmingham, ( Brum) visiting Deano , which was lovely!

I haven't seen him since Christmas and knew he had spent all of January and part of February in Nairobi in Kenya doing the thing which he loves the very most.....Running!
I call his running fuel for his soul....

~ Each year a group of athletes are asked to train at high altitudes in the warm weather climates to assist their training schedules........and  Dean was one of only two from the Paralympic team selected.

It has been a fabulous opportunity yet again for him... 

Although he was poorly with dehydration on the long flight home (nine hours in the air) 

~ He is now  fit as a fiddle as the saying goes...
And his training went wonderfully well, with very few niggles!
It was great to catch up and hear all! hehe..

~ This is a very special picture of Dean having a spot of lunch  and joking with a tooth pick.......
Taken in Kenya.
I wonder if you can guess who the  very famous athlete is here in the picture ?
I will tell all at the bottom of my post! hehe...

~ Mothers day isn't the same for every one, I know....

And for most of us it  will be spent remembering our very special Mums, who are no longer with us..

Thank You Mum for showing me many things in my life....

To be patient, as some things are always worth waiting for....

To be kind and to try to tread gently on this earth...

And most of all Thank You Mum for teaching  me how to LOVE....

I WISH you're special place in heaven to be full to the brim of kittie cats and waifs and stays all needing to be cuddled and nursed and shown a little love and tenderness.

~

And of course my Dad.

God bless you both.

~ As I type and send out this post very dear to me....The snow is falling ever so gently.

My washing on the line is frozen and almost like cardboard....

I guess winter still has us all in her clutches for a wee while yet.....

I will be hanging those flowery frocks back in the closet once more... 

( My lovely cards)

I do hope your Mothers day was special too! Wishing you a week full of happy times! .
I am off to pop on the kettle and catch up with you all on here!
~ Take time to dream...
Love Maria x
Oops forgot to add the athlete in question is Mo Farah of course!
Keep cosy and bye for now...
