and I thing I’ll put in the pic nic basket a good trappist dubbel (westmalle most probably)

sorry it’s all in italian

Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera – you will have to imagine.

The 3 of us at work who are about to be redundant took off at lunchtome for a couple of hours – we bought salads, quiche, and strawberries from M & S and took them to the park, where we sat in the sun and enjoyed it all.

Shame we had to come back to work.

Picnic season is upon us.

This seems like a good goal to have right now.

first picnic with zabaione Carnival sweets

ages passed since our last picnic
but finally
yesterday we went to a quite particular part of our region, we explored the area and had a gorgeous picnic on a little peninsula:
the breeze was pleasant, the heat sufferable and mosquitos very gracious towards us

and I lost it
sigh
it was in yesterday evening news

in the countryside near Florence
in the parc of medicean Villa Demidoff
which has this amazing parc that you can imagine (a particular in the pic)
a lot of groups of people gathered
to have picnics
a group was dressed in ‘30s costumes, and the kids looked really angelic ;-}

next year I want to be there! (not dressed in ‘30s attire, thank you, I’m ridiculous enough as I am)

as soon as I am well:
a celebration
with a sumptuous, lavish, magnificent picnic
at a breathtaking place

a hymn to enjoying life
and its pleasures
again

this surprise!

Thank you, it’s delightful!!!

I love it, next time I go on a picnic adventure
I’ll be wearing an appropriate hat ^promise!

a perfect sunday
