For my birthday we got dressed up and went into the hills for a picnic. Well, it’s meant to be summer!?
It was glorious when we arrived and laid out the apple tarts, cheeses, meatballs, BLT sandwiches, ginger crunch, chocolate torte, patisserie cakes and the bubbly wine onto the tartan rug. When Steve lit the BBQ to cook the salmon, the clouds were a little darker. When everyone had eaten and drunken enough to require a walk around the hills – it rained a bit and we retreated under our tarpaulin shelter. The sun shone again as the walkers arrived back from their soggy excursion and we all drank some more. Then [just as we were about to leave anyway] the clouds broke and we had to run down the hill before our frocks and suits got absolutely soaked! We escaped to the pub to dry off. Hey it’s all part of it.
Thank you to all those brave folk – I had a fab day!
