(source: hatfield house) the other wonderful part of such visit is that the english gardens – ok not french – are always beautiful. erm……….and what do you do in beautiful gardens on a sunny day? well just have a picnic on the grounds- so at some point saturday afternoon, i will pick up some“charcuterie” and cheese from harrods food halls, few shiny santini tomatoes, nice and fresh french baguette, english strawberries, a bottle of rose or champaign and off we go for a royal picnic. isn’t’ it grand? just love it! but as a warmup tonight, we are going to head to the v&a for the friday late and for adults there will be coktails at hand- « drinks partner bombay sapphire will be serving cocktails infused with imagination from their specially designed imagination bar in the john madejski garden and classic bombay sapphire cocktails in the grand entrance for the evening »- although we’ve already had few drinks last night over dinner with some good friends. never mind just party hard! have a lovely weekend! pas de commentaire 24 juillet 2011 peace publié par gasyladyinthecity dans music pas de commentaire 22 juillet 2011 sample sale- matthew williamson publié par gasyladyinthecity dans sample sale matthew williamson sample sale today only, cannot be missed!
