Day 372 Happy Birthday, Angel!

This day is our family’s legendary ‘Angel-Day’. It is my wonderful mum’s birthday. I cooked a French-English dinner for lunch: Non Alcoholic Fruit Infused French Onion Soup, Turkey Pie and Apple Crumble. I can’t believe I never made an apple crumble in England! I packed everything by 1pm and just before I was going to leave for the birthday lunch there came a summer storm. After half an hour waiting it started to slow down and I got on my bike, but half way through it started again, and this time it got me on my bike. I have never ever got so soaked in my life. We had a really lovely time and as we watched TV after coffee I told mum how much I appreciate her. ‘Not everybody does.’ She said with her very own disappointed modesty. And I just smiled as we carried on watching the film. The most mature kind of child-parent love is the one when we learn through rebellion to value the deepness of really knowing each other. Thank you Dear Mum to assist through my rebellion and waiting patiently for me to come to value you and now it is my turn to be patient.
