Dear All

Hello

Went on a family size picnic to Londons Hyde Park.

Flowers looked and smelled lovely, kids ran around, the rest snoozed and I saw the memorial for the July 2005 terrorist attack in London.

The wildlife ran amok near the serpentine. I still love feeding the
birds and swans.

Doesn't food taste better outdoors?

Hope you all had a nice day too.

Best wishes
xx

Hello Elizabeth.........your picnic sounds idyllic . I'm pleased you had such a lovely day .

My day consisted of walking the three dogs in the woods ( it was a bight and beautiful Autumn day here in Norfolk ) .
Then a bit of furniture moving , took a big old sideboard to daughters flat ( up three flights of stairs ) and bought an arm chair back to ours .

Then an hour or so on the allotment .

Now I think it's time to rest..............lol

Hello Polly......childhood picnics, no cares at all,

Hello Amanda.........ah an allotment. Grow your own.

Our local council had this idea for the residents to have a small allotment, next to the park.

Rows ever since! Who has got the biggest space?!!

I like picnics because lets face it, it costs a small fortune to go to some events/places.

Apart from the fare/petol, etc and the food, you can enjoy natures sights and sounds for free!!!

I need to make a note of the museums for the kids.

Best wishes to you both
xx

Hello Polly...........yes it was a bit too busy for me...........lol

When our kids where little we always took a picnic with us on days out . With four of them going into cafes was out of the question .

We had a picnic on the allotment with the Grandchildren in the Spring time..........now if they come up with us they expect food ! .....you just can't win.................lol

Hi Elizabeth, what bliss!

When OH and I were "going out" we often used to meet up early and go and have Sunday breakfast at the Serpentine caff. We would then move on to a Hampstead pub for lunch. The Old Bull and Bush or the Smugglers.

I thought this was the glitzy life!

We are still married a million years on.

We had a lovely family bbq, as it was my middle daughters birthday.
It was so warm, can hardly believe it is the end of September!
Long may it last!!
