It’s my mum’s birthday in just over a week.
My mum has never been for a night out in the city and has never had a cocktail (not counting the watered down kind that you get from dodgy Spanish bars). Given that she is turning 73 this time (shush, don’t tell her I told you) I decided that it was high time to remedy that.
Now my mum and I are quite similar in that we are both daft as a brush, we giggle at the drop of a hat and we both enjoy good food, good times and a drop of something to put a sparkle in your eye.
I booked a night in the
+Premier Inn in Manchester for the Bank Holiday Monday and arranged for us to attend Jamie Oliver’s Italian followed by a few cocktails to end the night with a bang.
There were many many giggles (including when my mum managed to break her glasses, forcing her to use one of them like a monocle in order to read the menu), the food at Jamie Oliver’s was amazing and we found one more thing in common that night, a love of a Cosmopolitan cocktail.
Here are some photos from the trip.

Have you planned any trips recently?
Fantastic you both look amazing and I can't believe your mum is about to turn 73! xx
ReplyDeleteHow fab does your Mum look? The jacket she's wearing is lovely and I love your floral dress too. Hubby and I are off to Chester this weekend for our wedding anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI always thought you were beautiful, but WOW - look at you with no make up!! (I'm super jealous!!) You look great in trousers, and you can see the similarity between your Mum and you. I think you can be very grateful for some fantastic genes you have inherited from her - you'd never believe she was in her 70's! x
ReplyDeleteYour mum looks nowhere near that age and unless you told me you had no make up on I wouldn't have guessed! x x
ReplyDeleteYour both are looking lovely, hun. <3
