Hats off to Thistle Hotels' Picnic Hamper
With the sudden rise in temperature and the late summer sun welcoming more of us out into the parks you could be forgiven for leaving your brolly behind and relaxing for an afternoon's picnic.
But summer showers are always just around the corner, so to avoid a sprinkling amidst the heat of the afternoon Thistle Hotels have come up with an ingenious addition to their fabulous picnic hampers - an 'umbrella hat' to ensure that you are the envy of all other picnic goers when the unpredictable British summer weather strikes.
Waterproof and practical - everyone knows you need two hands to eat a picnic - the umbrella hat sits alongside a picnic rug, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, cakes and Kettle crisps.
It's a bit of good old-fashioned fun, practical and can double-up as a sunshade.
For those who want to add a bit of sparkle to their picnic, a bottle of Champagne can also be arranged.
The Thistle Hyde Park hotel is located opposite London's popular Hyde Park and is ideal for guests who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital. Picnic Hampers are available to order from the hotel concierge from £25 for two people
