My son bought afternoon tea vouchers for myself and my mum at a rather grand country house hotel. We both thought she would enjoy this and it would be a nice change for her, however, she was in a 'bit of a mood' and complained (not very discretely) about most things - sandwiches too small, tea cups too small, not enough tea - although she actually had three teapots to herself, etc..
I had decided to take a camera to record the occasion (knowing that she would have forgotten even before we left the car park where she had been). I got some nice photos on the digital camera and when I showed her one - she said - that's an old woman - I am not an old woman, so we said - oh no, you are not like n old woman at all and joked about it.
Now my dilemma is, the plan was to print the photos and give her them so to remind her of her day out, but I am afraid this could only depress her if she sees an 'old woman' on the photos - she knows it is her though.
Anyone have any suggestions as what would be the best way to approach this?
