      Surrounded by the tall buildings of the city, the church grounds are so peaceful and filled with plants and flowers.

      Mum loves gardens, so one on the top of a skyscraper with a gorgeous view over the city was perfect for her.

    It was then time for my parents to travel home but not before tucking into a slice of the pear and raspberry custard tart that I'd baked for them as a late birthday cake.

      In the evening, Tom & I went for a drink at another one of our locals, the Cable Bar. It's a coffee shop in the day and a cocktail bar at night with live music on Tuesdays.

      The champagne cocktail was delicious and only £7.
