The scene was set as Grace and I walked hand in hand down the road to the archway that marked the entrance of the local botanic park in Melbourne. We had quite a bit of gear to carry, but I wanted to create a romantic atmosphere with all the trimmings...my camera included :)

Unpacking our picnic basket and hamper we set out two freshly made Vietnamese rolls filled with to the brim with pork belly, coriander, garden salads and chilli. Accompanying our scrumptious mains was a delicate selection of fine cheeses, fresh strawberries, stuffed peppers, olives and chilled champagne.
The air was clear and the birds were singing. It couldn't of been a more perfect day.
The stage was set
As we lay on the picnic blanket we read our magazines and looked up to the sky as the cotton clouds floated above us. The experience felt like it was straight out of a romance novel and I'm not even ashamed to say it.
We positioned our picnic rug underneath the breathtakingly beautiful Jacaranda trees

We didn't have a worry in the world!
Spending the afternoon together was a real treat and something we both won't forget. We really can't wait to see where our next adventure takes us! Grace this one is for you xxx
