Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the lovely Cafe TwoCann and treated my mother to a Mother's Day Afternoon Tea. 'It wasn't Mother's Day?' you say, well, it was when you plan a weekend away over the real mother's day, oops.
I'd heard great things about this little cafe and was eager to visit. Ahead of time I booked our meal and added a little enquiry as to whether there was anything special that we could do for mothers day, I received no response and assumed it was too early for any of their mother's day plans.
When we arrived I found this cosy little cafe. I was surprised at how small and intimate it was, and in spite of it being as busy as you'd expect on a saturday afternoon it was incredibly quiet and relaxed.
The cafe itself is beautiful. Gorgeous stonework walls, fairy lights paired with soft lighting that reflected on the bottles of champagne lining the bar. Glass cabinets lined the walls with jewellery, and ornaments, on display from independent retailers, the treasures twinkling seductively in the light.
We were greeted warmly, given our teas and coffees, and we settled down to chat and catch up.
The lovely lady who served us proceeded to bring a slate board decorated with melted chocolate, scripted to read Happy Mother's Day, along with fresh fruit, and chocolate dipped strawberries in little suit jackets. There it was, my something special, at no charge, and presented beautifully. My mother was so happy and overwhelmed that she nearly cried. She is a cryer, is my mum. I was so grateful for the effort they put in for her, she really does deserve it.
After such a wonderful surprise, we were presented with our afternoon tea. Sandwiches with ham, egg, and salmon, along with sweet treats of macaroons, scones, jam, cream, tiny welsh cakes, lemon posset and mini carrot cakes, it was like a dream. The cake stand was presented beautifully and again in melted chocolate 'Happy Mothers Day' wrapped elegantly around the macaroons.
We had a wonderful afternoon, were looked after so well, and left with very full bellies. We will surely return. I was so thankful to be in a position where I can take my mum somewhere she can be spoilt as she does so much for others. She's the most selfless person I know.
