Phoenix Loves... Picnics.

The weather in London has been really nice this past week and that's meant me and my mum have been out walking lots. We've walked to the shops, walked to feed the swans with godmummy Kathryn, walked to see dad and godfather Tom fishing at the canal and today we walked to the park with dad to meet up with mum's friend Noorin and her boyfriend Albert.

You'll remember Noorin from one of my previous posts, you know, the talented girl who made mum's wedding dress and has her own ethical fashion label called Outsider. Her boyfriend Albert is from Ireland but seemed to have travelled lots so had some good stories which were fun to listen to! We met in a place called Priory park and had what's known as a picnic. This is where friends get together in a big grassy area, sit on blankets and eat. Yum.

Most of my afternoon was spent having lots of cuddles with Noorin, and she showed off her skills when she fashioned a tent from her pashmina to help protect me from the bright sun! Nice one Noorin. Check it out...

I could get used to this chic lifestyle.

Later on dad went and bought everyone ice cream which seemed to go down well, but I stuck to my favourite - milk. That always goes down best with me.

The rest of the afternoon was spent wandering up to a placed called Crouch End and having a little food and drink in a cafe. If I'm right, I think today is what's known as a lazy Sunday, surely the best type of Sunday that there is. Thanks Noorin and Albert - let's do it again soon!

On Tuesday me and mum are off to Sweden for gammel-farfar's funeral. It's going to be a sad trip, and it'll be made sadder by having to be away from dad for three whole sleeps. We'll miss him.

I can't wait to meet all my Swedish family though and am sure to have lots of stories and pictures to post when I get back.

Wish me luck on the plane!
