Cheesecake (homemade by the Jean-Philippe’s own fair hand) was eaten and side-splitting stories were exchanged – all extremely wholesome (for the most part) and brilliant fun. So refreshing was Peppermint’s first picnic that it’s been made into an annual institution. The weather in this country is so unpredictable that if there’s a time to revisit the forgotten lunch hour, it’s definitely when the sun’s shining – your emails will still be there when you get back!
