GLP #4: This week’s heartwarming highlights. Mais oui.
March 12th, 2010

March, oh March, how you toy with our meteorological emotions so. As spring willfully thrusts itself upon us, the eyes are beginning to light in London’s amorous ranks, talk of festival ticketing abounds and we nearly feel safe venturing out sans scarf. But not just yet, mind.

This week is Mothers’ Day. Now we’re all about sharing a special occasion with someone special, and as the kind-hearted folk that we are, we’re prepared to stretch that definition to our own mothers.  So where to take her? Or anyone else for that matter?

Here is our pick of your picks from this week. And as part of our devotion to your devotion we’ve upgraded. That’s right, we’re talking PICTURES.
