I have just found a tutorial for some amazing paper lanterns designed by Carole Poirot. I can just imagine them strung across my garden ( I need to close my eyes very tightly to block out goal posts, paddling pool, play house, slide etc etc) my vision would involve a sophisticated picnic, lots of wine or fizz chilling in ice buckets, lovely food, floaty dresses, stimulating company and conversation. My lanterns would be wafting in the warm summer breeze - then I wake up to Nana I've dropped my ice cream or Nana I need a wee - I can dream
