Parkin

Tonight I failed dramatically as a parent. I failed to get any sparklers for Ferguson, I failed to take him to a Bonfire & I failed to show him fireworks.
Quite often I hate being a full-time working mummy. I crave to dedicate much more of a my time to him.
As a remote cancelation for my failings I made a parkin cake - which ideally should have been made a week ago, given time to mature...
Whilst Ferguson sleeps unknowingly in his little bed, I heart hurts for not showing him the delights of November 5th, like my Grandad did, on today, his birthday, some 20 or so years ago...
