History of Mothering Sunday
Most Sundays in the year churchgoers in England worship at their nearest parish or "daughter church".
Centuries ago it was considered important for people to return to their home or "mother" church once a year. So each year in the middle of Lent, everyone would visit their "mother" church, or the main church or Cathedral of the area.
Inevitably the return to the "mother" church became an occasion for family reunions when children who were working away returned home. (It was quite common in those days for children to leave home for work once they were ten years old.)
And most historians think that it was the return to the "Mother" church which led to the tradition of children, particularly those working as domestic servants, or as apprentices, being given the day off to visit their mother and family.
As they walked along the country lanes, children would pick wild flowers or violets to take to church or give to their mother as a small gift.

I love the habit in Romanian villages of folks sitting in front of their homes along the roads to watch the world go by. It offers the traveler a wonderful opportunity to meet the local people. This shot was taken in Bucovina, not far from the border with Ukraine.
Happy Sunday
Hi people, I’m Tonny Froyen from Molde, Norway.
Each photograph I take is a reflection of a quiet moment — a pause in the rush of life to notice the calm, the color, and the stillness nature offers. Sundays are for slowing down, breathing in fresh air, and getting inspired by everything around us. I believe nature has a way of resetting our thoughts and grounding our energy.
Whether you're out for a walk or just sipping coffee by the window, today is a great day to reflect, recharge, and reconnect.
Let's support each other ✨

Sunday morning at Fountain Colliery. Colin, Mike and Jim are having a socially distanced chat, not because of the Black Death of Doom, no, they simply don’t get on. Meanwhile Liz and Margo are waiting for the pub to open.
Took this photo in Assen earlier this year, quite a spectacular line-up at this year's Supercar Sunday!

Sunday morning shunts can quite often produce interesting results on the 15th May I achieved just that, 60092 is seen here on the Down Goods at Peak Forest waiting to set back into Dove Holes Quarry. My only disappointment with this shot was caused by the idiot who left his hat in the windscreen!

Sunday, June 19
5/100
The makings of a perfect day, and how only sleeping for two hours at night can make you hazy and at the same time make you think that everything is infinitely more funny. Singing, singing, singing, taking about life in the meantime, eating brownies and vanilla ice cream and roaming through the jazz section at FNAC (well, country section for me, but they're side by side), laughing my ass off at the idiotic jokes we come up with over and over again, and feeling that sudden sense of contentment, of gratefulness over having met these two girls a year ago and having them be a part of my life. Music, and the way it always changes us, and shapes us, and makes us who we are and how the three of us share that fondness for the marks on the paper.
And then the beach and the sand castles, and going to Senhor de Matosinhos and laughing my ass off again with my mom's friends (and mine!) and just enjoying this day so much that I just didn't want it to be over.

...... today, being the fourth Sunday in Lent, is Mothering Sunday in the UK.
As a child, in Church on Mothering Sunday, we would be given bunches of primroses or violets to give to our Mothers.
Now, here's your history lesson on the origins of this day which are quite different to the origins of the US Mother's Day (although they have now come to celebrate the same thing ... our Mothers!).
The origin of Mothering Sunday can be traced back to the 1600s when in England people traditionally visited their nearest parish church or "Daughter Church" on every Sunday. In the 1600s, many children after the age of ten left their homes for jobs as apprentices or domestic servants. It was considered important that these children be allowed to visit their home and mother church once a year. So, in the middle of Lent the children were given leave by their employers to visit their "Mother Church" or Cathedral of their hometown. These children on their visit to their homes brought along gifts, flowers and special cakes for their mothers. These visits gradually became a time for family reunions and so eventually this holiday, once meant for the return to the Mother Church, was stretched to include all mothers and was named as Mothering Sunday.
A Happy Mothering Sunday to Mothers everywhere!
Everything .... basket, bow and flowers made of sugar(gum)paste.
