London weather is very
unpredictable. Spring started off with snow and hardly any sun and I was
already beginning to think that yet again we were not going to have any summer
and my lovely summer dresses will have to stay in the closet this season.
However, I was very wrong. Since the end of June, we have had in London a proper
summer, some days temperatures even reaching as high as 30 degrees! While many
people complained that it was becoming TOO hot and failed to look after
themselves properly, I was enjoying my summer…and in fact still am…It is end of
August and it is still lovely and warm in London. The weather forecasts are for yet another two wonderful weeks of good weather, clear skies and bright sun.
For such an outdoor occasion, I decided to wear "jumpsuit shorts". I don't usually wear such short clothes or jumpsuits for that matter;however, I could not resist buying these ones. They are black and decorated with tiny metallic type beads in various patterns. I have accessorized my picnic look with a hat that successfully protected my eyes against the bright sun. My boyfriend, on the other hand, went for a casual grey look, brightening it with a multi-coloured stripy rucksack. Actually, the rucksack is where we packed our yummy food for the day!!!
Below is a photo of the willow tree in the park under which we sat and enjoyed our romantic luncheon.
We made a sort of "mediterranean" picnic, taking with us tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, salad leaves, cream cheese, salami, olives and houmous, and we ate it with wraps. It was lovely, light and summery. As dessert we had juicy sweet watermelon.
The park, in itself, is beautiful and green and has three lakes, small golf court, tennis court and a mini garden. I love taking walks there in early mornings or evenings, when everywhere is still and quiet. It reminds me of the enchanted forest.
On the way back home, looking happy as ever, after a relaxing day out.
You both look lovely (but you more lovely than your bf). Beautiful photos of nature.
