Tis the season to be Picnicking

This gorgeous weather keeps bringing us outdoors for picnics.....iv decided spring is psychologically the best British season, here's why....

First of all you don't have any high expectations for spring, so it really cant disappoint, you can forgive it if there is a few off days, and the good days feel like an extra bonus bringing hope of a long hot summer as they lull you into a false sense of security.
British summers on the other hand cant do no right, we have high expectations for them and wont forgive them if they bring but one rainy day (which they inevitably do), we hold a grudge against British summers which are never forgotten, blame it for ruining plans for beach barbeque's, camping trips and garden parties and then each year expect summer to right the wrong it did the previous year by bringing us the best summer on record, increasing our expectations of what summer ought to be each year, entering into a vicious cycle of disappointment...mean while spring gets away scot free like the favourite child of the family!

So here's to enjoying Spring who really did do us proud this week with temperatures in the 80's and 90's!!

On Friday i was told William and Anthony had planned a little surprise day out for me ( a little treat they felt i needed?) and that lunch and dinner would be taken care of by them......So Saturday we found ourselves in a place called Virginia waters near Windsor..its a royal park, lake and gardens and it really is beautiful if ever you find yourself down that neck of the woods you really should go! its about half an hour drive from our house here in London.




Hello Dream House..........
On closer inspection it turned out to be a boat house just along from this dream house.......


.....So I'l take them both thanks....I would like to be the Lady of the manor!


If you take a closer look at the pic below you'l find a couple havin a right sesh in the background...just to the right of my baby rolls!....hehahe
The gardens are beautiful this time of year...this was one of my fave parts...a pink maze type thing...the colours and scent was IMMENSE!



Anthony went all out with treating me, he cooked a three course meal for me from scratch I was particularly impressed with this GORGEOUS cheese cake....it was a taste sensation!!!


...i was rather miffed all day by the occasion to be honest...i kept sayin 'i dont understand, its not my birthday...its not an anniversary...i don't get it????' ..i guess we really shouldn't question these things and just be grateful heha....and i was!
