For a no guilt Eton mess, you can layer live cultured yoghourt instead of cream. For a change swop out the meringue for amaretti biscuits.

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.

The scent is Shangri -la from the Shangri -la hotel. I have an idea for a fragrance. Years ago I went to a lovely Gay bar in New port Rhode Island. Out in the back of the bar was a patio area .Very closed in but lovely open ended to smell the Newport bay at Sunset. The fenced walls had honeysuckle and rambling roses with sea salt air. Intoxicating!!! See what you can do with this. Needs to be elegant. Thank you ! DENNIS
