Today I am grateful to my mother-in-law, Nancy, for looking after my kids and feeding me lunch two days a week through the summer holidays!
Nancy is the archetypal "Irish Mammy". She can not stand to see anyone thirsty or hungry, so, not only does she feed the kids on the days she has them, but she always has a lunch ready for me when I arrive from work to collect them....along with a nice, and usually much needed, cup of tea.
I had to laugh today, because she had three other grandchildren and a son-in-law in the house when I arrived today. They had all had their lunch, but the smell of sausage, bacon and egg wafting round the living room was too much to bear, so one by one they appeared in the kitchen to peer longingly into the pan! Nancy just calmly opened another pack of sausages and kept on cooking till she had fed them all!
Long live the Irish Mammy!!!!
Gratefully yours.
