Baby Fergusson: Sunny family picnic season

The Higginson's rather lovely picnic hamper

The weather has been incredible lately, continuing to make our summer a very wonderful one. Eve and I have been to the park most days, either on the way back from the allotment or just heading there for fun.

Relaxing under the shade of a tree in St Andrews Park. We love the pram blanket from John Lewis that was given to us as a present, it goes with us everywhere!

Eve enjoying herself in Royal Fort Gardens, Clifton.

The gardens are owned by The University of Bristol. As the name suggests the site was previously the civil war fortifications for the Parliamentarians. The defences were originally medieval but had to be strengthened for modern warfare in 1642. Royal Fort House which overlooks the gardens was built for wealthy Bristol merchant, Thomas Tyndall in 1758.

Eve and I spent a lovely afternoon here last week whilst we waited for Daddy to finish work. When she woke up after a nap I pushed her in the pram around the gardens, past the pond and then settled in another shady spot to resume play-time.

My brother-in-law and his partner gave us fantastic presents at Christmas - the colourful woollen picnic blanket (John Lewis) that Eve is sitting on in the photos and her pram blanket too. We've been having such a nice time enjoying these lovely gifts.
