A walk in the park

Today being as blissfully lovely as every other day this week, we packed a picnic of sandwiches, salads, a bottle of sparkling rosé, a flask of coffee, chocolate éclairs and of course, a punnet of strawberries.

Duly equipped, we took ourselves, the baby and my father out to the Harcourt Arboretum, the rural extension of the Oxford Botanical Gardens for the afternoon.

There was eating and a rare photo of the Passementerie family.

There was a baby on a rug.

There were trees.

There was even a peacock.

And last night (because I know you all love my cakestand so much) there was a cake.

Looks beautiful. Well, the cake *and* the trees, and mostly the cake if I've going to be perfectly honest...

you're going to launch a major wave of cake-stand mania in certain parts of France and probably in other places.
