The look on Mum's face

Yesterday being Mum's birthday we had pre-arranged to go to Bridport and surprise her. Collette had secretly booked the Barnbougle Golf Links restaurant for tea. (notice how everything we do is centred around food!). Earlier that day at school Mum had suggested to Collette that they go out for tea and Collette said, she was going to cook at home for Mum. So Mum said no, let's go out making it the perfect surprise because Mum spent the rest of the day thinking she had come up with the idea of her and Collette going out for tea. Little did she know that Collette had a booking for 6pm.

So at 4.30pm, Lisa, Jessica, Sarra and I left for Bridport. We got there at 5.50 just as Collette text us and said she was leaving the house to come to the restaurant. Barnbougle is set amongst sand dunes and is really pretty. We spent about 5mins deciding where to park the car so Mum would not see it and by then a car was coming up the path towards the restaurant. We thought it was Mum and Collette so we started running up the hill to the restaurant, giggling the whole way.

We sat at the table waiting for Mum and Collette and when they walked in, for about 30 seconds Mum had this stunned confused look on her face. It was a classic. She just stood there without moving and you could see she wanted to talk but was too surprised to do anything. She was very pleased we had come and we had a lovely dinner together. The whole day we had not text or rung and she was wondering if any of us were going to contact her.
