we had originally wanted to have a picnic in hyde park, but knew we couldn't count on the weather in july. sure enough, it started raining about half an hour before the boat left, which made for choppy waters and some unfortunate un-champagne-related motion sickness. the weather cleared up quickly, though, and the cruise was lovely.

especially when the desserts came out!

s's mum made a proper english fruit cake
