Mother's Day

Mother's Day. David Hill has an excellent and moving piece in The Listener about his mother. Our mothers explain and define us. I've written on the blog often about mine but March 1 2009 would be the defining piece. Mum's birth-date is Monday week, she would have been 98, but she died last year. Here is a photo of her gravestone, sister-in-law Margaret sent up the other day.
