It made me

How I did it: I went to the National Marine Centre in Plymouth. I paid my money. I stuck my nose against the glass. There were several seahorses - _rescued_ ones; much bigger than I'd expected. They swam around a bit but mostly they were wan and coy amongst the weed. Read how I did it…

Moorland jaunt 6 days ago

After work last night the weather was so perfect a picnic was inescapable. We took prawns and strawberries to the moor, beside some standing stone circles.

As ever, Mme Lupin settled down at base camp while I struck out – past wild foals, skylarks, irises, swallows – to the bog cotton and the sundews in an Elizabethan strip mine.

Iron Age picnic 2 weeks ago

This was on Thursday, I think. It had rained but cleared to a perfect evening.

Straight from work to a hill fort dating to 300 BCE. Never been there before – about 10 miles from home – and it was huge, really defined still, with a marvellous view all the way around to the sea and two moors. Butterflies everywhere. The pic is taken from the middle of the inner circle.

Mme Lupin brought a good picnic and, after eating, she sat and read while I strode the ramparts, quixotically :)

Does this qualify? 4 weeks ago

Yesterday after work, I stopped at the Co-op and bought a sandwich and a smoothie and carried them up to the heath. Can one picnic alone? Not alone at all, because I used my Quackberry to chat on GMail for an hour while enjoying this view.
