Breakfast in bed, cards, flowers, chocs. What a pretty picture. Britainy Rae doesn't see Mothering Sunday in quite the same way. If we mums are to enjoy ourselves, she says, we usually have to make our children happy too. Here's how . . .
Obsessions, I’ve got a few . . .

There’s nowt so queer as folk
I am the magpie of Rye and I'll share my finds with you. Do you need inspiration for something to buy/ do/ eat / drink or gossip about this week? Don't worry your unimaginative little head, Miss Rae is here. This week I'm talking about Grayson Perry, gay dads and a sugary cloud of satisfaction
