Celebrated on the forth Sunday of Lent, Mothering Sunday -- which has no connection to the US Mother's Day -- was originally a day when people gathered to worship at their nearest cathedral or "Mother Church." Servant children, given the day off to worship with their families, would gather poseys of wild flowers for their mothers.
Nowadays, Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, is a time for special gatherings and gifts. And with a hint of spring in the air, a train ride is a unique and perfect way to surprise mum! Excursions like gourmet luncheon trains and cream tea pleasure trips generally sell out fast. Early booking is advised.
