Overcast and still at 6:30am.
All Cannobio kindergarten fingers are crossed that the predicted rain will hold off this morning for the annual Festa dei Palloncini, the balloon festival with which the Cannobiese celebrate motherhood.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers I know and love.
PS This is what happened on palloncini day in 2008...

So can you or any of your followers explain the difference in the British(and a few other countries) celebrate Mother's Day in March rather than in May as per US/Italy etc?
Have been trying to persuade my family that Mother's Day happens in March AND in May. Not much success to date!
PS Hope rain did hold off for the day -

It's my understanding that Mother's Day in the UK (the second Sunday in Lent, I think, and called Mothering Sunday), follows medieval traditions. The US holiday was manufactured in the early 1900s as a day to celebrate the work of mothers. I believe that many countries have a special day on which to celebrate mothering, chosen in general to coincide with relevant dates in their own political or religious calendar.
