We have a routine on Mothers Day, inspired by an episode of “Little Bill” that David saw many years ago. Karen gets served breakfast in bed, consisting of Scotch pancakes made up into faces by the addition of raisins.

As David recently discovered the joys of Banana Splits, we also have marachino Cherries and squirty cream in the fridge so the pancakes had red noses and hair.

The fact that David was at his Grandmas because of the Mayor’s Ball last night was readily circumvented- when we got back home this afternoon, Karen had to go back to bed in order to be served breakfast!
