A Tribute to Mums

One of the most special celebrations for the year is Mother’s Day and Sunday 9 May will be a really special day in the Café. In fact, we think Mums are so special, we’ll be having Mum’s Weekend with a special Mum’s menu, free gifts and more. There’ll be live music both days from 12.30pm.

Things Mum Would Never Say
"How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"
"Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too"
"Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery"
"Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week"
"Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day"
"Well, if Rahul's mamma says it's OK, that's good enough for me."
"The curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It's not like I'm running a prison around here."
"I don't have a tissue with me ... just use your sleeve"
"Don't bother wearing a jacket - the wind-chill is bound to improve"
