Today is my Mum’s birthday she would have been 94. I can think of no better way to celebrate her birthday than have an afternoon tea…

Luckily my beautiful considerate daughter had treated me and her boyfriend’s mum to an afternoon tea at Luton Hoo.

The grounds and house are amazing and the array of cakes and sandwiches were too.No counting calories or diet today. The tea flowed as we chatted and giggled and ate until our clothes were uncomfortable.

As her day comes to a close I have had a lovely catch up with her younger sister who was about to ring me we always think of each other on days like this, and as I often say death doesn’t end a relationship and our loved ones remain forever in our hearts.

Mum, where ever you are I did you proud today mmm yum cakes!
