It just so happened that 'Mother's Day' fell during my holiday in March this year, my lovely daughter decided to treat me to a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant which overlooks the Moat of the Forbidden City.
The view from our table of one of the gates leading into the Forbidden City :)
This was the starter, absolutely gorgeous :)
I haven't got any more photos of the food, as I was too busy eating!!
Lovely photo of myself and my daughter, taken by the manager of the restaurant :)
Right at the end of the meal, I was presented with this! Complete with candle for me to blow out :)
A truly lovely treat from my daughter, and definitely a Mother's Day treat I will not forget in a hurry :)
Another photo of the two of us after the meal, standing in front of the entrance to the Forbidden City, again taken by the Manager of the Restaurant. I felt very special :)
After that lovely meal we decided to walk to Beihai Park, as I love it there, so we walked past the moat, this is one of the corner towers.
Another entrance into the Forbidden City, I think this one is the North Entrance.
Finally one of the lovely gates we walked past on our way to Beihai Park, more of that in the next blog :)
