Most mothers would enjoy an astounding cake from Patisserie Valerie on Old Compton Street.
I'm not sure that anyone needs marzipan animals, but they are certainly fun to look at.....
Upstairs an attentive waitress brings our tea.
(Most mothers need tea.)
Real tea, the kind you need a strainer for......
Flowers from Liberty would be a great treat too, of course.
My present was three new Persephone books to be gobbled up gleefully.
I am soooooooooooooooo in love with these roses, dear Elizabeth!
