I never imagined that a year on, I would be re-posting this, yet, here we are. A year of sadness for many, new joy for others and as we head towards Spring. maybe the first sunshine rays of hope for us all.

My post from last year holds true... I ran today...C25K, Week 4 Run 3...my Mumma was with me. I hope to be running on this route in my photograph sometime in the Spring x

"A tricky time for all of us this year...but, time too, to embrace those we love and celebrate the love in our families and our friendships.

Have a safe, happy day all of you and, just because you cannot be with your Mum or Dad in person., why not take them with you... on a lovely uplifting run :)"

Have a safe and a calm day, everyone.

Floss

Hi Oldfloss

2 years since I’ve seen my mum. Borders not opening anytime soon 😢

I love that my mum always asks her nearly 47 year old daughter whether she is still running ❤️🏃‍♀️

Thanks Oldfloss

I’ve just had a little weep for everyone who is missing their mum on Mother’s Day past and present.

Dear OldFloss, we continue well here despite some hard bumps and are looking forward to possibly getting vaccinated. What times these are! Your post is so beautiful! How lucky to experience such beauty daily.

I notice that there are many many mothers who run, perhaps more mums than dad's, this morning I saw many more ladies out for a run than men

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministrator60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr

I only saw one runner ...he was male :) And the cyclists too.. but usually, I see more male runners too! I thought maybe the Mums were having a cup of tea... in bed:)

I think many of us are finding it hard to go through yet another ‘family’ day without seeing my family, I know I am. I hope you are ok. I haven’t seen my adult children in person since October, and that was a fleeting lunch with the younger one just as her location was about to go into Tier 3. I really hope we make it out of lockdown properly this time.

Lovely post Oldfloss . So glad you got out for a run.I read you are learning Welsh, so thought you would appreciate this 😘

OldflossAdministrator60minGraduate in reply to Jell6

Diolch yn fawr, Rwy'n ymdrechu'n galed i ddysgu,,, you are kind xx It isn't easy and I still understand a lot more than I can say!

nowsterGraduate10 in reply to Jell6

That doesn't look quite right. "Llawer o gariad" would be more usual I'd have thought. The way it's phrased there looks to my eyes like "Big sweetheart" instead. 😉🤣

I chatted with my Mum this afternoon, even continuing to talk while I made bread. The last time we met up in person was back in July and I was on Week 3 of C25K.

I have everything crossed to be able to get back there after 12th April xxx

nowster profile image
nowsterGraduate10 in reply to Oldfloss

I'm not sure that it will be possible in the announced rules unless you're starting from within Wales.

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministrator60minGraduate in reply to nowster

I think if Mark Drakeford goes with what he announced ..its Wales fir the Welsh until after 12th...when will be allowed to go but only if he is,happy with the data for wales .The only worry is that our numbers in England may be up again by then and BJ will lock us down again!. Fingers crossed!
