Just bought an insulated ...

[Quassia]

picnic bag. There's another month to hopefully see some sunshine?? Anyway, thinking of foods to take! I'm thinking some seriously strong cheddar & crackers, little cold pies & pickles, sandwiches , may be some little cakes & some of those little bottles of wine! What would you take?

[Quassia]

Have you seen those little bottles of wine? Really cute! & they'll be well chilled! Hope the sun shines for your picnic tomorrow welshi!!

[boxtops]

Don't forget to take a kitchen roll or some paper napkins!

[Quassia]

Oh yes of course!

[Quassia]

I've seen some plastic stemmed wine glasses, really nice!

[welshlibranr]

Quassia, will be happy if it's dry at least, have a 4 and a 5 year old coming along, and they're raring to go!...and thanks boxy!....kitchen roll is a must!......will remember to pack it!..............

[Quassia]

Oh, kids love a picnic! Brilliant! What are you packing then welshi?

[welshlibranr]

yes Quassia, I went to the races last weekend and we took some of those glasses and our cold boxes full of wine!.........had a great day out!.....just a word of warning the stem and bottom of the glasses fall off easily, meaning that you have to hold the glass at all times, but that's not a great hardship!............lol......

[JB]

Hummous (and something to scoop it with - celery is my personal fave!) quiche and bbq chicken pieces.

[Quassia]

Oh I love celery .. great ideas!

[welshlibranr]

Quassia, it will be whatever the fridge can offer mostly, sandwiches, breadsticks and dips of course, fruit, cocktail sausages, cakes, strawberries, cold drinks, and whatever else is jumping out at me when I pack the bag!.........lol......we're going to a lovely Country Park near to us, the boys love it there, they have a farm, and a play park, and deer park, so should be a good day!........

[Quassia]

Sounds wonderful! The kids will love it wont they! Fingers crossed for the weather then!

[welshlibranr]

yes Quassia finger crossed, but looks like being dry anyway, maybe not so sunny, but that's ok!........the Country Park has little shade, so on a hot day it's very hot up there!.....we'll be happy with dry weather!....

[Quassia]

Sorry welshi .. I missed your tip there about the wine stems, thanks!

[welshlibranr]

Oh yes, Quassia, the wine glasses are good looking, but the stem and base falls off!.......party cups don't look as attractive, but are a better bet, at least you can put them down if you wish!.........lol.............

[Quassia]

I've no intention of putting it down welshi lol!!

[welshlibranr]

I managed with them well Quassia!..............but some folk complained about not being able to put the glass down!.........didn't cause me a problem at all!.........lol........

[Quassia]

Ha ha!!

[welshlibranr]

We went to Chester races Quassia, it was a great day out!.......lost a fortune!....not good!........but a wonderful atmosphere there, have been lots of times, bit of a trek for me, but so worth it!........will go again next year at least for two meetings, I love it!.....

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Mini scotch eggs and cold sausages with some pickle or mayonnaise are nice and don't forget to pack a couple of plastic bags for your rubbish. A carton of wet wipes will come in handy for sticky fingers.

[welshlibranr]

Good ideas there BAKERSDOZEN!.........thank you!.....
