Emergency Rations for my mum!
Phew! Have just finished making mum's home made Mother's Day present! I love my mum to bits, but she is in a nursing home 500 miles away, so I have to send her presents through the post. Sent a big scrapbook and glue about a year ago, and ever since then have been saving cuttings out of the paper, magazines etc for her to glue into it. Always print off loads of photos and funny things that friends have sent via e-mail. My printer doesn't print it's colours properly so it takes an age getting them to print out correctly!
Also in her parcel this year:
- a special "speaker-phone" that she can put right next to her chair and press one button to get through to me!
- my bible that I got when I was 22 years old
- a book all about the rural Post-Buses in Scotland (trust me, it's more interesting than it sounds! - we used to use them during our adventures when she used to come and visit me in far flung places!)
- Nairns Stem Ginger Oatcakes
- Mini bags of Maltesers
- Lindt Lindor Chocolates
- Curly Wurlies
- a packet of those old fashioned crisps with the separate salt packet
- a packet of Popcorn
- a half-home-made card
....and a lot of love!

Equally blessed daughter!!
We have always been used to getting unconventional presents. I was travelling/working in different places for years (some of them pretty remote), and back then, mum was the one sending me Emergency Rations! ... chocolates and red liquorice mainly!
