Madam Mumro

What is the word for the mother of your daughter-in-law in relation to you?

I’m going to call one of them Mumro from now on. It’s the name that the son of that particular daughter-in-law’s mother, who, remarkably, is also that same daughter-in-law’s brother, came up with. Though he wasn’t trying to answer my question.

He’s made a fantastic little video of the day she completed climbing all the mountains known as Munro’s. Which means, for the uninitiated, every single one of the two hundred and eighty two mountains over the height of 3000 feet in Scotland.

What an achievement!

I’ve been wanting to do the same myself in fact. I’m well on the way. I’ve done four of them! It’s a great way to see our beautiful, Big Country. And to keep fit. The trick, obviously though, is to keep going.

So a massive tip of the hat to Madam Mumro.

Though even finishing such an epic adventure is just another stage in the journey of course.

I wonder what she’s gonna do next?
