My mum popped off last August...this will be the first Mothers Day without her.....
She was a big Dutch barge woman, grew up on the Barges in Holland...and she was built like a Russian Shotputter....she stood 6'2" and was a good 6' wide too. I am no small person either, but when I was 15 I came home late, I must have weighed in at 15-16 stone then (I played Rugby at school) and she grabbed me by the collar, lifted me off the floor, pinned me against the hallway wall and yelled something unrepeatable in Dutch at me.....I can tell you I was never late home again!
Miss yer face Mum....
