Happy Mother's Day. It is an Ahuriri inspired Mothers Day I feel. It is warm and sunny - the cafes are busy and the shops are open, come for a wander. We are open until 2 for last minute gifts and cards and I will be enjoying my Crazy Good coffee and a pastry then joining my Mother later to go out for dinner at Sri Thai in Ahuriri.
