Mothering Sunday
2019 • E13 Mar 31, 2019 35m
To celebrate Mothering Sunday, Katherine Jenkins visits the National Trust’s Tyntesfield Estate in Somerset to find out more about the history of this Christian festival, to learn how to make the traditional Simnel cake and to explore the stunning Gothic chapel there. We meet the remarkable mother who, in a lifetime dedicated to caring, has fostered over 800 children, and we hear from a group of mothers who came up with a clever solution to the challenge of helping their disabled adult children leave home and live independently. The music reflects this special day, and there’s a very personal new song from Katherine, inspired by the birth of her son.
