Another picnic..

and an excuse for a photo! But I have to say the picnics are experiences in their own right. Hardly any of the fresh winds down by the coast, it got so hot we had to take shoes and socks off and put light shirt on! Picnic food was leftovers and a fresh salad made from yoghurt, chopped mint, garlic and anything I could find.
Thankful for:
We took half an hour to go home via the many farms around. Quick way was only 14 mins from home.

It'll be a while before it's picnic weather up here! Enjoy your picnics. A lovely thing to do, and a nice photo.

A lovely shot - great to be able to go out for a picnic , away from the crowds .

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. And cute picnic area for having a rest and have a bite.

Beautiful spot! In spite of the heat, I hope you enjoyed what you could. =)

[Julie Duncan]

Looks like a cosy spot!

At least you found a little shade for your picnic spot

[Diana]

A beautiful wicker picnic basket...you don’t half do things properly! Freedom to eat & sit where you like...must be good!

Great candid shot

@happypat That picnic basket came from England, Pat. I love it too - it is the essence of a picnic!

[Maggiemae]

@k9photo That shade was welcome, Kate but later the sun came round and it was just too hot to stay!

[Maggiemae]

@onewing Wouldn't be the same without a wicker picnic basket, Babs. We keep it at the ready for the next picnic.

[Maggiemae]

@ninaganci I think it must be very good to have picnics, Nina - both of us slept so well after.

[Maggiemae]

@sangwann You do have a rest at a picnic - there is nothing else to do besides a wander down the river or beach.

[Bep]

What a lovely spot for a picnic!

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje Just over the bank there you can hear the river trickling along - its quite low at the moment. Then... the thunder of a milk tanker going over that bridge!

[haskar]

Lovely shot.

[Taffy]

At least you are getting out! Nice way of capturing the feel of the picnic.

[Maggiemae]

@taffy The ground felt hot beneath my bare feet - not often does that happen!

[Islandgirl]

Great place for a picnic!

[Corinne]

You know how to live ! Love the idea of going out for a dinner like this ;)

[John]

A very old-fashioned looking scene. Love it!

[Maggiemae]

@congaree Why, old fashioned, John? Mind you, we are old fashioned!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

How delightful!

A picnic in the drive sounds like the perfect way to spend a day! Fantastic photo of John enjoying the moment
