Thank you Mum

After all the grief and tears over the last weeks Mum has made us ROAR with laughter.

Last year she asked me to get her wool and a pattern for an aran waistcoat. I resisted as I knew that it would be too complicated and I would have to knit it. I finally gave in and bought the "cherry red" wool and sure enough a few weeks later it came to me to knit. How I hated that jumper! I must have ripped it dozens of times as I kept going wrong. I was going to leave some of the tiny mistakes but I knew full well that she would spot them. It finally got finished and she was very pleased with it. So pleased that she entered it into the local show as HER work where it won first prize. The first we knew was when they came to the door last night with the prize money. Breda managed to keep a straight face but how we roared with laughter after they had gone. The money is going to be spent on a "cherry red" rose bush for the garden and I am sure it will give us lots of smiles.
Thanks for being the greatest Mum
