This summer has been full of quality family time for me, mixed in with a lot of work, and one day I decided to spend a sunny afternoon having a wonderful picnic:
I wanted to make the most of these fabulous Hamper Baskets duo* by creating a scrumptious picnic for my family. Country Baskets sells a variety of floristry supplies as well as other home accessories. I couldn't resist these adorable hamper baskets, which are cleverly designed to fit into one another, and now look great stacked upon one another in my bedroom. Today, I packed the smaller basket full of cheese scones and home-made sausage rolls, along with some cherry tomatoes, cheeses and chorizo. In the larger hamper, I baked a classic Victoria sponge, using Mary Berry's recipe (of course!)
I also had the chance to try some Ryvita in an exciting new limited edition tin, designed by Ben de Lisi.* I love the striking geometric design which looks very smart beside my kitchen window. It's a great way to store my Ryvita as I'm trying to be healthier - despite the fact that the rest of this picnic isn't very healthy at all! It's all about the balance, right?
What would you include in your dream picnic?
