Mum about town

Aude Camus shares her plans for the Easter weekend

With the five-day weekend upon us, we plan to enjoy some family time at the beach. It’s the perfect excuse for my little one to show off her collection of Charlie Banana swim diapers in cute prints and bright colours.

Easter is in the air and although my nine-month old is probably too young for egg hunts, I’ll definitely use the excuse of having a child to enjoy the Easter fun (and plenty of chocolate eggs). Cue treats from La Maison du Chocolat, Valrhona and Fortnum & Mason.

Spring has officially sprung and a new season is always a great time for some well-deserved pampering. A facial at RARE SkinFuel Spa is perfect for getting summer glowing skin and I’m also going to treat myself to a Reawakening Ritual at Four Seasons Spa. But by far, the most exciting thing I’ll be doing this month is going for my Covid vaccine shots. I’m hoping it gives me a chance to travel back home this summer and finally introduce my baby to her family.
