London Calling . . .

I've had a few days away, visiting my lovely sis in London, and enjoying a most fabulous time at the Coronation Festival in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.



Wandering around the stalls, listening to some talented musicians, sipping Champagne in the sunshine, and nibbling on smoked salmon & cucumber sandwiches, and yummy strawberry cream scones as we picnicked in the rose garden.


As One does, you know  :-)



Sadly now it's back to the reality of a Monday morning and my chores await . . . 
Wishing you a happy, sunshiney week,
xoxo

    Lucky you Think I would have been in that lake to cool down (guess I would have got thrown out though!) And I agree with Faerie Factory - it's way too hot to do chores
