Lisa has also done quite well for herself, jumping over all the hurdles of UK citizenship with style and aplomb, earning herself an official "Lady" title in the process.
We are mighty pleased with ourselves.
But enough about us. It's time to provide you, dear readers, with the latest accessories to ensure that you approach this year's picnicking with style and grace. The ability to transport the elements of your picnic in style is key to your success. This gorgeous all-in-one picnic hamper from the Gourmet Trotter Company has everything you need to turn envious heads from Primrose Hill to Loch an Eilein.
Kick off your shoes and put your best foot forward in these picnic socks. We're hoping the trail of ants will work as a mini ant-scarecrow of sorts and keep the real beasts away.
The last thing you want is for your wine to warm up as you trek through the wilds of Hampstead Heath in search of a free patch of grass. Prevent this horror with an insulated wine tote from Moka. You'll probably need at least one per picnic participant, so stock up!
There's nothing as infuriating as a napkin fluttering away in the wind just as you were trying to delicately dab the BBQ sauce off of your nose. Prevent this with a handy vintage napkin holder.
Finally, on a balmy summer's day the urge to picnic can strike quite suddenly and viciously. Be prepared at all times by carrying around a picnic basket as a purse. Boho chic never goes out of style, and it's the perfect size to sneak your Scotch eggs and split of champagne into the office.
