The Perfect Picnic.
00:00Last week was half term. We had some amazing weather, which we thoroughly enjoyed! The sun was shining and it was quite hot, I'm not a huge fan of really hot weather so finding some shade seemed like a good idea to me! We went for a lovely picnic to a fairly local park with plenty of shade but also lots of sunshine, too! The kids enjoyed playing in the sun (they were smothered in sun screen) whilst I sat in the sun and watched!
We packed egg and ham sandwiches, mini sausages, scotch eggs sausage rolls, cakes, cookies and some fruit etc! We spent a couple of hours at the park eating and playing and just chatting, enjoying the weather before walking along the river to get a well needed ice cream!
(My memory card has literally just broke on me, and I can't retrieve the photos NOOOOO!!! - along with many others - so I'll have to just post the photos I took on my phone. I'm trying to figure it out. WHY didn't I back them up straight away?!)
We're hoping to get out for an after school picnic sometime this week, we'll see how the weather goes though! Not long until the summer holidays, who's excited?! We are!!
How have you been enjoying the weather lately?

We went to the park when the weather was hot and also to a set of dirt jumps for bmx and mountain bikes. Shopping indoors at the mall as well and a few meals out was nice. Your picnic sounds lovely, wish I'd thought of doing that! #TriumphantTales
ReplyDeleteOh the weather was just delicious wasn't it, and yet today we were thrust back into winter! Fingers crossed it picks up again so you can have another picnic. I keep thinking that I need to take Zach for one! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a good picnic, I haven't had one in ages but I love making up all the snacks x
ReplyDeleteWe love picnics!!! Unfortunately, we also all suffer from hayfever, but we try to do it but not too often, we have had a few BBQ's which is great in this nice weather! #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteLovely. It looks like you all had a great time at the picnic.
ReplyDeleteLove a good picnic. Nothing nicer than sitting in the sun with your family having a picnic
ReplyDeleteooh this looks like a fun picnic. The foods listed are exactly what we would love. :)
ReplyDeleteAh this looks like a lovely day. Half term weather was incredible wasn't it? Here's hoping we see some more soon. Thanks for joining #TriumphantTales, hope to see you back next week! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely happy post with lovely photos of your day out in the park. Half term was a great break and only 6 weeks till the summer hols! Let's hope for fab weather again - not looking so good at the moment! #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect looking picnic and a great way to enjoy the lovely half term sunshine. I'm not sure what hapenned the week after though, we've had more than our fair share of rain and I'm more than ready for the sun again now. Like you we always take a ball out with us, it is the simple pleasures of space and a ball that will keep kids going for hours. I hope you sort your camera out, though I must say your phone pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
Ahh! Days like this are just the best. We do love a picnic! We are hoping to have a few over the summer! It looks like you had a fun day! #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteWe've had positively rubbish weather since half term and my little isn't at school yet so I can't even pack him off to that! We're definitely getting out and about though but hope for a little better weather soon!! Hope you get your photos back!! #countrykids
