After missing three hours' sleep due to DS being too hot/ lonely/ a 3 year-old, I didn't feel too chipper in the morning but DH kindly did breakfast duties and I had a lie-in til 8.30.
The sun was shining, the (fake) grass was green and if we'd had orange and palm trees in Harrogate, they'd've been swaying. Just the day to head up Kings Road to Queen Bean. Fear not, I wasn't planning on spray-tanning my five year-old; we were there for the beverages and cakes. We skipped up Skipton Street (I gave up before she did - pelvic floor) and already DD was saying "It is nice to have time together, mummy."
Queen Bean's decor is French-styled shabby chic; DD chose the table in the window with arm chairs and we looked at the prints and clocks on the wall whilst waiting to be served. We felt very ladylike and smart. I hit on the cupcake and drink combo for £4.95 and DD chose the cupcake. It was so beautiful we took a photo of it with my phone - glitter, a flake, lots of icing and definitely big enough to share. DD sipped orange juice and we played "What Is the Odd One Out?".
Part-way through, DD got off her striped armchair to give my the biggest longest hug I can remember ever having from her. I felt myself falling in love with this dear little girl all over again.
