Ideas for Mother’s Day afternoon tea

Mother’s Day afternoon tea, oh yes please. According to research by Prezzy Box, if being a mother was a paid job it would come with a salary of £100,000 a year! Twenty-four hours, seven days a week doing everything from nursing to chauffeuring, the laundry to cooking, cleaning and shopping.

So the least you can do is treat mum… here are a few ideas of where you can take her for Mother’s Day afternoon tea:
