Wills and Kate hopped to a remote island for their Canadian summer
picnic (do you think royal blood tastes sweeter to black flies?)
Were packing our own Britannia-inspired spread with all and sundry
from Empire
the Collection. This wee Riverside shop carries darling UK imports
like traditional aluminum teapots, hand-knit woolen tea cozies, Union
Jack cooler bags ($45) and melamine dishes
(from $9).
Well be filling our flask with Yorkshire Tea and stocking the hamper
with Walkers Crisps, Duchy
Originals preserves (from Prince Charles organic farm), Marks &
Spencer digestives and sparkling Ribena.
Now all we have to do is find a shady patch, lie back and think of
England. Marianne Wisenthal
