This was once in the 1950's a favourite picnic spot. Family spread rugs and children shrieked in the deep pool and turned stones over in the 'falls' to find cockabillies! Then it got overgrown with gorse and weeds and abandoned. In the last few years there has been a group including the nearby school, that cleared the area and planted natives. We sat here today with our picnic of cold roast lamb and mint sauce sandwiches plus the usual egg ones. Finished up with a huge strawberry and a custard square. We watched a group of young boys on their study leave, diving into the deep and I got some good photos which I sent to them,
Thankful for:
The lawnmowers arrived and made out place look like a park again!
You certainly love your picnics & do them so well. It looks a lovely spot to sit & reminisce….do you take your book with you? Makes me vow to do just this next summer now we have more time….I need a picnic basket like yours!! 🤣🤣
@happypat I take a book generally but John forgot his this time so we just sat and talked. That picnic basket came from England. Belonged to my older half sister who lived in London for some years.
My Maggie...This is what you missed ,,,My daughter stopped at a red light in the late evening while another car or truck made a left turn into her street by going over two lanes and into her lane. the side of her car was scratch to hell. you could see red paint on her black car, the mirror hung loose, the door was bent in. the door didn't open and she had to climb into the back and over to get out of the car on the other side. 2 door car in pristine condition. she babied that car.
