highsocietea brings on birth
We were enchanted by this email from happy customers which we recently received.
Hi Everyone at High Societea,
I don't know if you remember us but we came in for High Tea on Saturday (11.30 sitting). It was an 'attempt' at bringing on my sister's already overdue labour (it was something she did last pregnancy and her first child was born 4 days later).
Well ... it worked again! Sunday morning 1.40am, Melissa had a baby boy 6lb 13 oz - Eamon Nathaniel Hayes!
If it's ok with you, we'd like to tell our friends that High Tea should be added to the list of things that might bring on labour!!
We had a delicious time, by the way! We're bringing back our mums!!
Thanks again for a great experience.
Kind Regards
'Aunty' Deb
Congratulations to the proud parents!
