"They unpacked the basket and saw that Mrs. Brimsley had done them proud. Nothing that Mrs. Holly had provided had ever equalled this. Hard-boiled eggs, ham cake, cheese cakes and buns and oranges, and even a bottle of milk...
There was something about in the way the picnic basket had been arranged, in the green paper serviettes wrapped around the cake and buns, in the oranges, and in the bottle of milk, so carefully wrapped and labelled..." Winifred Holtby South Riding

Oh to spend today sitting in a field munching on a delicious picnic.
Ooh a picnic - I know what I'm doing on my next day off, even if I have to sit in the car to eat it!
ReplyDeleteTonia - & definitely don't forget your mackintosh squares when you picnic this summer if you tempt to venture from the car.
DeleteI was just contemplating a picnic lunch for tomorrow... now I've decided! Thanks for the lovely quote and photo.
ReplyDeleteJoAnn - Oh enjoy your picnic tomorrow, please have an extra one for all your UK friends experiencing persistent rain. I fear our ground won't be dry enough for a long time.
DeleteThat picnic menu sounds scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just!
