Mother dearest is in Cape Town at the mo and, as you can imagine, required high levels of attention at all times prior to my Los Angeles departure – including daily shopping expeditions, lunches and dinners. Between finding time to write for you and my waistline, I needed to find some time without offending her.

As I was staying at my primary residence, the Cape Royale Hotel , I asked the concierge, Patrick, what he might advise.

“Easy,” he said, “there is a 5 hour treatment at the Cape Royale spa!”

Oh joy to the highest Gods!

The Cape Royale Spa
Mother went..

I presented her with the 5 hour special and off she went as I spent that day catching up on articles for you and fine tuning my hips in the gym!

This was the result – an email from Mother:

My Darling Only Child

Thank you for the most Exquisitely Decadent Day. Since being spoiled by the fabulous Spas in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos never did I expect to find another Spa to compete…….but Yes for sure the Spa at the Cape Royale is sensational, from the charming staff , soothing ambience, and the Delightful Sericha who started my day with a full body massage……… Bliss, then in my haze a pedicure and manicure at the same time how cool is that ( thank you Kim for the manicure ) Lunch chosen from a menu with all your heart could possibly desire served up on the top floor at the pool deck . With 360 degree views of Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean and stunning Cape Town. WOW could there possibly be more YES YES YES an hour and a half facial the likes of what I have never experienced by Sericha. The Day is deservedly called “The Exquisite Package”

Thank you Thank you
My Love always
Mummy Dearest
