WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO? It's the end of the week, the fire is roaring and we have just cracked open a bottle of superb @bluepyrenees Shiraz (thanks @timbonefood ☺️) , TV is off and I'm in the mood for music. What's on repeat on your Spotify at the moment? 
WANNA KNOW A SECRET? 🤫 Mum's hate cold toast and tea in bed on Mother's Day, and you know that diamante keyring you bought at the school stall, yup, you guessed it, she hates that too BUT you know what she does love..... YOU! So much in fact that on this day that is supposed to be all about her, she smiles and "enjoys" her soggy breakfast and "thoughtful" gifts. Trust me, I speak from 21 years of experience. 😉 So to keep everyone happy on HER day I have devised a plan for just ONE LUCKY MUMMA. You can have her all to yourself on Sunday morning but come the afternoon she is outta there faster than a kid chasing an ice cream truck! 🍦 Mum will enjoy a ONE NIGHT STAY on Sunday May 9 to relax in peace and enjoy HER DAY doing whatever she pleases. 🍷🧀🛀. I'm even going to have a bottle of @mitchellharris rosé chilled and waiting for her. So kids, get your favourite grown up (and their credit card) and head to our website to grab this indulgent treat for Mum before it's gone. 
SAY HI TO CARMEL 🙋♀️ (MUM). She's a bloody ripper. Her and Dad raised us 5 kids (4 boys & the baby, moi!) on a diet of love, Christian values and good ol' fashioned home cooking. I definitely got my love of food and hospitality from her. She is an amazing cook and would host the most fabulous dinner parties in the "good room" when we were kids. She still makes the world's best ribbon sandwiches and sponge kisses and can always be relied upon to turn up with multiple Tupperware containers full of home baked treats each and every visit, even when told not to bring a thing! 🍰🧁🥮 With Mother's Day coming up it just got me thinking how lucky I am to have such an awesome one. ❤️ 
Yes please. 🔥 ☕️ ❤️
