Sunshine & Picnics



After a long wait, sunshine finally arrived in the UK (although it’s now disappeared just as swiftly!) and Matt and I have been enjoying every opportunity to bask in the rays. I’ve lost count of the amount of picnics we’ve enjoyed together over the last month or so. There’s something so quintessentially English about unfolding a chequered blanket and opening a wicker basket to indulge in the delights of pink lemonade, sandwiches, pork pies, olives, potato salad and fresh strawberries for afterwards. The photos above are a collection from our visits to Rushcliffe Country Park, Sherwood Pines Forest, Clumber Park and most recently, we returned to Whatton Gardens, where our wedding reception was held. It’s still one of my favourite places to go. So completely peaceful and serene. It was lovely to reminisce over our special day and stroll hand in hand around the beautiful gardens. The sunshine seems to bring a sense of joy and tranquility to the soul, if only it was around more.

    What stunning photos, Amy! I used to live right by Whatton Gardens, in Loughborough! I loved visiting there and wandering through the gardens, there is something "secret garden" about them.
    Hope you manage to get some more picnics in, looking at the weather at the moment we'll have to keep our fingers crossed!

    Ah you're so beautiful. Loving the photos.
    I've spent some time in Clumber Park also. It's so beautiful there. I especially love Diana's bridge. Hope the sun comes out again soon xx

    You look radiant in these photos.

    I love the sunshine, I often think I must be solar powered as I just feel so different when the weather is warm!

    I love the dress you're wearing above. Where is it from?

    Your hair is gorgeous, you look beautiful in these photos. It's definitely worth making the most of the nice weather, it disappears faster than you can say 'summer'! xx
