Happy and Blessed

It was Olga’s birthday so we met on Hampstead Heath to join her for a celebratory picnic.

There was an absolute feast of delicious Peruvian food that she and Aravec had made, a real treat for all of us.

There were lots of lovely friends enjoying sharing in the sunshine.

There was a thoroughly luxurious chocolate mousse birthday cake,

followed by home-made chocolate treats – YUMMY!


There is nothing I like better than relaxing in nature on a hot, sunny day with plenty of good food, prepared with love, and sharing the afternoon with lovely friends. How lucky I am.

What a beautiful picnic, and a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday in the autumn sunshine. I love the chocolate-dipped physallis.

I am also really digging the chocolate-dipped physallis! What Peruvian food did you have? I love Peruvian food! Sounds like you had a wonderful day with lots to be thankful for! xxx

Oh we had loads of fantastic flavours - stuffed aubergines and tomatoes, a mushroom dish, a fantastic dish made with crystallized ancient potatoes (from what I could gather), salads... and all vegetarian and vegan. YAY!

Hi Scarlett, the picnic looks terrific in the last remnants of autumn sunshine, truly a day to look back on when the winter comes.What an array of food laid out,I was wondering what the chocolate tipped fruits were but got the answer in the previous comments.

Everything about this is shouting love and enjoyment. And I am digging the spread. I love that kind of eating, when everybody brings a dish to share.
