Mother’s Anniversary Day

With our wedding anniversary coinciding this year with Mothers’ Day, today was doubly my wife’s call and so it was off to Saltburn for a stroll along the seafront and to the end of the pier, before returning home where the boy and I (mainly I) prepared an afternoon tea consisting crust-less sandwiches (with some unorthodox fillings), cakes (including my first ever attempt at a Victoria sponge using, appropriately enough, a recipe from my own mother’s old file), leaf tea and Prosecco, which all went down very well; so well in fact it may have created an unfortunate precedent.
