Five years and I still miss you.

On Friday it was five years since my mum died after a long battle with Pancreatic cancer.

My mum was an amazing woman and this post is dedicated to her.

Me and mum.

Looking through all the old family photos its very clear that so much of who I am comes from mum.

She loved baking and would stay up all night so me or my brother would have an amazing cake for our birthdays. Here is a selection...

 And my love of costumes is definitely a result of the many fab things she made.

and so many more!

All in all I think you can see where I got my perfectionist eye and need to go above and beyond!

I miss you mum and I hope you'd be as proud of me as I am of you.
