Picnic Time

We seem to be developing a Saturday morning routine of walking along the closed section of road on Marine Drive. It's an absolutely stunning section of coastline, and hidden for most of the journey from 'civilisation'.

Last week the sea was almost black, with white streaks on top of the rolling waves. Today it was incredibly still, and the sunshine caused the turquoises of the waters to sparkle.

As we were approaching the end of the closed section I had a sudden hankering for a picnic. Every meal we have eaten in the last two months has been in the house, and I desired a bit of al fresco dining. A picnic was just the thing. However, this was going to prove difficult as we had no food, drinks or picnic supplies.

We sat on a small headland and played 'let's pretend'. The Beloved asked for coffee (check) and a cheese and ham sandwich. Unfortunately, I'd packed cheese and pickle for him and a gf chicken wrap for me. Things got a little messy when we got to the potato salad, and coleslaw. I'd forgotten the forks! Picnics are tricky to get just right.
