Picnic Prettiness



This is a post about what I should have been doing this weekend, as opposed to what I really did. What I actually did was get overexcited about the hot weather, start drinking cider far to early on Saturday and not get home until the early hours of Sunday, resulting in the rest of the day spent in bed watching The West Wing.

If I'd known what an amazing weekend of weather we were going to have I'd have sent out some picnic invitations - probably the above, which are free printables from Eat Drink Chic.

I'd cook mini versions of this caramelised red onion and goat's cheese tart (little ones are easier to transport and share), and lots of salad. I bought a very pretty wicker picnic basket from BHS a couple of years ago. I just had a quick look and it doesn't seem like they stock them anymore - but they do have this pretty and far more practical spotty cool bag:



Summer's here, and I couldn't be more excited.
