IN SEASON
Mother deserves THE BEST...
MICHAELA PARKER HAS BEEN OUT SEARCHING FOR SOME FOODIE GIFT IDEAS TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR MUM’S FACE
unday 30th March – the day to celebrate our lovely mums. To show them we care and appreciate them by spending time with them and treating them to something nice. Breakfast in bed or a bunch of fl owers are great gifts, but a little predictable… Instead, here are some alterna- tive Mother’s Day gift ideas from across the West Country.
S
BISHOPSTON SUPPER CLUB MOTHER’S DAY AFTERNOON TEA. BISHOPSTON, BRISTOL
Danielle Coombs of Bishopston Supper Club will be running this special event again for 2014 after the event sold out in record time last year. Perfect for a lazy afternoon drinking James’ loose leaf tea or fresh coffee and eating beautifully made sandwiches, tarts and homemade cakes. With the same supper club set up that Danielle has become so well-known for, the event will see you seated on long tables with others so you can marvel at the deli- cious treats with other like-minded guests. Tea will be served in several ‘rounds’, Dan- ielle warns, so arrive prepared to be full! £15 per person including a glass of bubbly on arrival. Visit
bishopstonsupperclub.com for details on how to book.
