My mother was a fantastic mum… she was there for us every day (5 children)… she cooked every day (deliciously)… starter, main course, dessert… incredible. I still wonder how she managed it. Those were very different times, from 1951 to 1978. My mother was a housewife and was happy in her ‘job’ – cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, sewing… – always content, never complaining or nagging. I am still grateful to her every day for the lovely childhood I was able to enjoy.
The grandchildren called her bomma, the great-grandchildren called her ‘big bomma’.
Good luck!
Best wishes,
Chris
