From the editor
I do hope all the mums in our district had a fabulous Mother’s Day on Sunday.
As a mum of two, I so very much enjoy Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day!
I was well spoilt - brekkie in bed, lunch with my eldest daughter (the younger was busy at a friend’s birthday), then a delicious family dinner where we dined on roast pork, lamb and all the trimmings, followed by sweet treats from The Cheesecake Shop. Yum.
Since having my girls (and that’s a few years ago now), I have developed a new appreciation for just how awesome mums are - and I’m so grateful to mine for being not only a role model, but a very close friend.
Mother’s Day might only come around once a year - but I reckon we should show our mums just how much we adore them, and are thankful for all they do - every day. I know I’d appreciate it.
