Nature Lover and Hats off to Tom: A picnic in my garden

As New Year's Day comes along, why not go on a picnic for the day?

I decided to set up a picnic in my own garden which is so beautiful at the moment.

Tom is the gardener and he has set out our garden so beautifully that there is absolutely no reason to go anywhere else to relax and enjoy lunch outside.

Pack your picnic basket with your basic needs and avoid going inside at all!

Choose a spot and get down to relaxing and enjoying the day.

 Sit on a blanket on the lawn or on a bench overlooking the garden. 

Relax in the middle of a secluded spot, enjoying a mug of coffee and reading some magazines before enjoying the picnic lunch.

Sit under the gazebo, looking onto the pond and watching the birds eating treats on the lawn close by.

Invite some friends and serve salads from labeled bottles-once you are done you can just pop them back into the fridge and they are far easier to transport whether you are having your picnic at home or in park somewhere.

Include a home baked corn bread... the recipe appears on an earlier entry. It takes less than 20 minutes in total to make, and is worth the effort.

                                    Everything laid out, ready to enjoy at your leisure!

Now just enjoy the last of the holidays, invite some friends around and if you don't have a beautiful garden     then go to a nearby park, the stream or a designated picnic spot!
