A weekend getaway all the way to Surrey would have been amazing, especially after the year I’ve had! Adding it to the list, the view is amazing, this is a must visit for sure.

At first we wanted to go for the Blenheim Picnic but the weather forecast was so gloomy we decided to skip and I’m glad we did. We had a small family gathering, a cozy bbq afternoon and enough snacks to last me a whole week haha.

All these sound heavenly. We’ve watched the Royal Coronation from the comfort of our own home with a huge charcuterie board made by yours truly. It was heavenly!
