Take six lovely ladies and drop then in the English countryside.
Add a ray or two of sunshine and tempt them with a fairy cake...
Let them try your Home-made Sloe Gin and Elderflower Vodka. Hic!
Demonstrate simple summer food that is easily prepared and cooked.
Take them on a hunt for nettles and wild garlic. Convince them that once the nettles are cooked, there won't be need of dock leaves - or indeed Piriton!
Settle them in the sun, surrounded by roses and sweet rocket.
Throw in some wine and splosh in a sweet baby (not compulsory!).
And what you have is ... well I'll let you decide that from the pictures....

What a gorgeous picnic menu. All we need now is picnic weather to go with it. I've never tasted sloe gin but I do make it with damsons, which is yummy. Sadly, we couldn't find damsons to make any last year so supplys are rationed until at Christmas at least!
