Déjeuner sur l'herbe

We went to the Retiro for a picnic yesterday. We were Andrés, who has designed the website for Nevsky; Eva, who has designed the logo for Nevsky and who is Andrés's boss; Eva's two sisters Bea and Maria; Eva's boyfriend Joe; Marian and me. We watched the grass grow on the weir, and annihilated all that's made into a green thought in a green shade, and all the other stuff you're meant to do in gardens. Marian's left elbow has a fascination that few can resist.

Pleased to see that your horse chestnut doesn't have the horrid brown lurgy which ours have here. But pergaps it is a sweet chestnut anyway?

I think its a horse chestnut. The Retiro is a bit of a nature reserve, what with being in the middle of the city: it's possible that the lurgy is kept away by all the traffic fumes.
