Marking your mum's birthday with yellow flowers is lovely @ladyholly.
I do the same trying not to specifically remember dates of deaths, I mark the first year anniversary then I try to let the date fade gently into the time of year and the turning of the seasons, it seems the right way about. I know I miss them without needing to be reminded to, and to be frank the calendar would have very little space for anything other than grieving and I don't believe our dead loved ones want us to join them in death while we're still alive. Got to live and enjoy while we have the opportunity even if the cloak of sadness gains more patches to wear as the years go byhttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Well done on the build admin (this auto corrected to ‘boiled’ admin initially! 😂) but dreams of it …?? Oh dear! I hope every party in the dream was civil, professional, effective and efficient! 😉😊

Oh obviously @KajiKita 😂
Help yerself to grub, glad you're bringing your own sauces, I don't even know what Hendersons relish is..
I would rather be dreaming sweeter things @beanielou but I always wake up tired after a night's sleep as so much goes on in dreamland, so I trust my brain that it is super busy processing necessaries!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Henderson’s relish is the veggie version of Worcester sauce 😊

'Remember' by Christina Rossetti is one of my preferred poems, and the last lines of 'better by far that you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad' always stuck in my head.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

Wow that year since your friend passed has flown! My mom used to love Henderson’s relish, I think you could only get it in Yorkshire at one stage and she used to stock up when she visited her sister up there. Now I believe you can get it anywhere. It’s mentioned a lot in Pinch of Nom recipes.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Thank you for my education @KajiKita, apparently everyone else, well @doingitanyway and @Sun_Addict knows this!
