Actually my preparations began the previous day when I tweetedflawedamythyst saying "Have found handcuffs. Will buy them unless I hear from you in the next 90 minutes." The reply I recieved requested I buy four pairs.
As is traditional we met in Regent's Park and enjoyed the picnic. Various picnickers brought along Sherlock themed food, including an array of chocolates and the competition winner byascendant_angel, cakes decorated with pink icing as brains.
During the afternoon we played various games.jupiter_ash had the doubtful benefit of partnering me for the three legged race (hence the handcuffs). We came third, which wasn't bad - mainly because our opponent in our round fell over! There was also racing in a bed sheet, racing with an umbrella, the chocolate game and pin the moustache on the Watson.
After which we adjourned to the pub. Where I drank cider, since Wetherspoons still had its cider festival running. After the previous few days I was feeling quite tired, so was glad when my friends all had to leave at about 8pm so I could make an equally early departure without feeling bad about it.
It was a lovely day, with the highlight being a group of fangirls holding signs saying 221B MINE. One of the picnickers had chosen the picnic to propose to his boyfriend. Who accepted with tears and kisses. Can't have a much better day than that.
