Given the pleasant weather we have had over the past couple of days I think it is amost time for picnics!! What do you think makes the perfect picnic? I love to sit by the river not far from our house, watching the children and our crazy dog tearing round. The food is probably less important to me than the location.

Yes, there's definitely got to be a shallow little river. Somewhere comfortable to sit, preferably in a meadow full of wildflowers, with a shady tree and no flies. There would be a skylark singing overhead and cows and sheep mooing and baaing, but not in the same field. There would be nobody else about, just a cottage café open selling tea at 25p per cup and ice cream cornets for 50p. We would take plenty of crispy salad in cheese topped bread buns. I don't want to take a watch so a church bell would be handy, chiming out the hours. Grandchildren would be nice, but no I don't want to have to keep my eye on them, just relax. I'm just waiting for someone to take us.

There is indeed something really calming about sitting on a river bank with a picnic. Good food and a bottle of wine do help I think. This is one of my favourite ways to enjoy the English countryside
