Mother’s Day Ideas
Just think for a moment about
… the times you asked for cash to go out at the weekend
… the times you rang in the middle of the night, waking the whole house to get a lift home
… the times you came home whispering loudly after a night out & telling the stairs to shush
… and especially the times you’ve asked for babysitting duties at the last minute.
It’s time to give something back…
March 18th is Mother’s Day. It’s also your chance to do something special for that one-in-a-million mum of yours, just because.
Rub-a-Dub Dub
A massage, facial and an afternoon of r&r? Ooh yes please. spa LONDON is Bethnal Greens super refurbished Turkish Baths. Try the amazing (and some would say brave) experience of the Hammam aroma steam rooms and then dip straight into an icy plunge pool to really get the circulation going. Wrap your mum up in white fluffy towels and then a glass or two of bubbly to really make her feel appreciated.
So Vintage!
If your mum hankers after the carefree and wild days of the 60s why not take her along to this fab vintage fashion fair. Filled with fabrics, costumes, buttons and amazing one-off pieces from the historical 1800s to the decadent 70s it is sure to delight the fashion-conscious mother and daughter duo. 18th March. 11am-5pm. Anitas Vintage Fashion Fair, 20th Century Theatre, Notting Hill.

Is your mum interested in photography and sporting some fetching green fingers? Whisk her off to Kew Gardens to see The International Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition. With an amazing array of landscapes and beautiful plants even the most experienced nature-lover would be in wonderment. The exhibition is touring but is at Kew Gardens until April 9th.
Elvis has not left the building..
