Introducing Maxine Lawton - isn't she lovely?Sadly, she left this planet when I was only 12 which is still Very Inconvenient and can still ponder endlessly about her.... especially now I am a Mum myself.
Today something so lovely happened.... I wrote about her to Culture Vulture as they were offering comedy or opera tickets to deserving mum's.
I will copy it below:
Dear Vanessa
Our heartstrings were tugged, pulled and twanged by the reasons why our Mums deserved a good old night out with flowers.
Although your reason "As my Mum died when I was 12, I have always hated Mother's Day. But since having little ones of my own I am making the very most of it now. I have also now got a mother-in-law who, is the most wonderful Grandma to my two little ones. This helps tremendously to have one amazing grandma for them even though mine isn't here. So I would love comedy and flowers for both of us!" was very worthy it did not win the comedy prize. However because it was a very close second we thought you may like to choose a night out at the newly opened Howard Assembly Room at Opera North, where there is a very eclectic programme of music and performance between now and the end of April.
Just drop an email to let us know what you and your Mum in Law would like to go see!
With lots of love (having a wee six month chicklet called Georgie has made us clucky, in fact she choose from the shortlist as we were stymied!)
