Bonus Tips for a Thoughtful Mother’s Day
- Book early – restaurants fill up quickly, especially with limited sittings.
- Add a personal touch: write a heartfelt card, bring a framed photo, or surprise her with flowers at the table.
- If a meal out isn’t an option, consider a homemade brunch or picnic, and head for a walk at Oakfield Park, Ballymacool, or around the scenic paths at Glenveagh.
