Mike's 52 birthday

About time I started updating this blog. Had some really good picnics recently, not expensive, just delightful and simple.
So today's fare, Coop Pumpkin seed rolls, with Aldi goat's cheese and Tesco sun-dried tomatoes, washed down with Becks Blue (for me) and Tesco Simply Pinot Grigio  for Lynn. To follow some Coop Faire Trade Belgium chocolate truffles. Eaten on the Humber bank in late September sunshine - about as good as it gets.
Sadly no photo of the spread but will sort that out for the next post.

What is the 'perfect picnic'?

Well that is what Lynn and I have been trying to create for our last 20 years together.

Our perfect picnics are normally held on either a remote river bank, on the top of a mountain, or on a windswept seafront out of season, and they all include a bottle of champagne, to be drunk from Edinburgh Crystal flutes.

What we eat with them varies, and what we would like to share with others is both the combinations of food and drink and the joy we get on our days out.

We have a couple of retrospective posts to come, but from then on I hope we can keep it current.

Mike
