As a mum, you really are expected to pull a rabbit out of a hat when it comes to entertaining you and your little bunny. Running from pillar to post, it can drive you dotty.
Take a little time out from the mad rush with a morning – or afternoon – at the latest, utterly charming tearoom in Muswell Hill: The Emporium. Offering superb home-made cakes and a selection of fabulous classes (including puppet-making for older tots and sewing classes for you), as well as beauty treatments, there is also a gorgeous shop with handmade goods by local crafters and artists.
If being indoors is not your thing, host your very own mad-hatter’s tea-party on the adjacent green. Borrow a rug when you pick up your takeaway tea and treats, so you can soak up the rays. Now that should have you grinning like a Cheshire cat.
