Once a year you get the opportunity to set aside time to let your mom know how much she means to you.  Moms have the ability to just fade into the background of our lives while helping make things run smoothly.  We tend to forget what great a role they play in our lives!  So pause for a moment and reflect on how grateful you should be for her.  Without her you wouldn’t be here, literally...

Here are a few places you can consider taking her to for a spoil this week.  Make it a fun outing with the whole family, or book out some time in your schedule for a special one-on-one  treat.

Rosemary Hill
This is a spot for true country-style living in the big city, situated just 10 minutes drive from Pretoria East in the Boschkop area.  You will be greeted with a red-carpet welcome this Sunday at their High Tea event and be seated at a table decorated in true English tea party style.  For extra effect, choose from one of the fancy dress hats that are available and pretend to be a royal lady. (or if you’re a guy, just dress up gentlemanly for the outing!)  Treats that will be served include classic Cucumber Teapot sandwiches, smoked salmon and crème fraiche crumpets, a selection of Danish pastries and other delectable delights.  The tea will commence from 14:00 to 16:00, bookings essential.
