Birthday picnic!

Every once in a while, my birthday falls on Easter Sunday, and this was one such year. 

It was a gorgeous day - which makes me feel all the more fortunate to live across the street such a big, beautiful park. 

So how could I celebrate by doing anything else but going on a picnic?

That morning I baked some fresh scones to go with the clotted cream and strawberries Bryan and I picked up from the market the day before.  

Then we brewed some hot tea in a thermos, packed our bags, and set off by bike.  

We picked a nice spot among the daisies near the Conservatory of Flowers, where there were plenty of interesting people to watch.

And proceeded to dine. 

Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a special day!  I'm looking forward to another exciting year :)
