Just a tip: What I do to make an Eton mess less "messy" is I pipe the cream into the glass. It actually looks so good when you do it that way, but I guess the whole point of it is how wild and messy it looks. Picnic looked great though!

Such a lovely and calming video. The front door colour looks great. I think it would look even better if you painted the inner and outer frames in the same colour. It will make the small door look bigger and more evenly proportioned. Also, that olive oil, I used for used for years until I realised it is compromising the taste of dishes. The Waitrose own brand extra virgin olive oil is infinitely nicer. Give it a try if you haven’t.
