Hi everyone! sun sun sun 

 

You might know from our poll topic the other day that my favourite summer meal takes place at a picnic in a park. smile Did you know that today starts the National Picnic Week across the UK, 15-24 June?

 

To celebrate the National Picnic Week, I'd like to ask you all for some ideas for your perfect picnic! 

 

  • What would be the ideal picnic location?
  • What food(s) would you pack for your picnic? What drinks?
  • How many people would be coming with you?
  • Would you have any activities/games during the picnic, or is it just about the food?

 

Looking forward to reading about your perfect picnic and perhaps getting some ideas for mine too. Happy Dance

@jonsie OMG fried scorpions tirednauseated_face did you eat them?

 


I did...along with Thai whisky & coke. They actually taste a little like well done chicken wings but with less meat!..wink


 

Did they actually look like scorpions or were they just unidentified lumps @jonsie? If they were unidentified lumps I could proably try... otherwise it would take a LOT of convincing, probably over several days. LOL grimacing

 

@Anonymous Your picnic sounds lovely! sunflower I would avoid the water I think as I don't like it very much. It's cold. open_mouth I would happily paddle in a large hot tub though. grin

They were actually scorpions in all their glory but with the stings removed.. you could line them up like toy soldiers though I resisted that urge for fear of a smack round the head with a handbag!

@Anonymous I hope so too! Just checked the weather and it shows 24 degrees and sunny with some light winds. Perfect! sun

@Marjo  as he currently has two laptops open and my grandsons Surface Pro, if you add mine to the mix, this house currently looks like a branch of PC World. So I think he will 'give the picnic' a miss joy
