Mum turned 70!

 Milestones in life keep passing by. This last week my mum turned 70. 

She's always been there for me over the years, to chat to and advise me, I don't see her as this old as she's just so sharp and active. It's almost a shock to see my parents turn this age! I think many of my loves in life come from her, my love of crafts especially, my love of growing things and probably my love of cooking and food.

I can remember, clear as day, mum and dad's 40th, it honestly doesn't seem that long ago. I always think looking back and knowing my parents at the age I am now is really eye opening, I often think about what the children will remember of me, and all the silly things I do. 

And I often think about the brilliant upbringing I had from mum and dad, and I think this weekend, surround by my siblings and their families, it's lovely how well we all get on, and that's a testament to our parents. 

Hopefully many more years yet from my parents, I'm so lucky to have them in my life.
