Personally I am hoping for a late Indian summer in September with a few more weekends with the weather we enjoyed at the beginning of the summer. We’ve have some great day trips out and are just back from a lovely couple of weeks in Cornwall. With few exceptions our lunches were picnic lunches, including one in the car having just been hailed, I repeat HAILED, off the beach!
So grab your favourite teddy bear, they love a good picnic, and let me inspire you with three of our favourite picnics this summer to shake up your picnic basket. Make sure you download a copy of Waitrose’s Teddy Bear Picnic Game, your little ones can go on an exciting exploration adventure discovering the alphabet in the natural world with their favourite teddy too.
