    I think Ireland and UK are outliers with the dates. I bought flowers to an Asian lady friend who was wondering what they were for. When I told her she laughed and said it was 12th May . When in Rome I thought to myself but she was happy enough 😁.

    The most important woman for most Irishmen is their mammy. Mines passed away also but even when I worked outside Ireland for a good few years flowers and a phone call were essential on the day. I wouldn’t think that’s unusual either .

    Guess we are the odd ones on this occasion.

    Either way happy mothers day to those celebrating.

    It's all over the place in a load of countries. I think Spain, France, and Germany are all in May... Except on different days in May.

    Christ no Billy ! Me Mammy was SDLP to the backbone. Still think she'd be happy to see Michelle in the top job up here though.

    And as always she gets a bunch of flowers for the grave. Not sure if I ever bought her flowers when she was alive- she would have had a canary about spending money on a bunch of flowers when you've already daffodils in the garden !

    Gone many many years now. And I still miss her.
    Hello darkness my old friend.....
