I spent my Saturday in the intermittent sunshine in a beer garden with jugs of fruity pimms, a ploughmans and portion after portion of onion rings whilst catching up with friends. Conversation mostly centred around the bank holiday weekend, bunting and all things British.
After watching some cricket on the green and a walk through the forest, Harriet and I went home to produce a shopping list for Monday's feast.
After a mad dash around Sainsburys, we made some raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream frosting for the following day (will post this scrummy recipe later this week).

Monday came, and the Sun teased us all morning long, we persevered and up went the bunting and on came the barbecue. We prepped some couscous, salad, and bits and bobs and couple of jugs of good ol' British pimms, along with red and blue plates and some union jack napkins...OTT? Definitely not...
Friends arrived, burgers were devoured, cakes demolished and we even went for a dip in the pool while the Sun was out. As the night drew in, we sat round, had some drinks and enjoyed one another's company and laughed all night long.
A perfect bank holiday weekend in my eyes... How was yours? What did you get up to?
