Prepare for Picnic Season

Looking out of the window on this warm Saturday morning, it’s easy to be deceived into thinking that it’s picnic weather. The reality is that we still have the heating on and I always seem to be wearing the wrong coat. After the longest , wettest winter, I think we are all desperate to get out into the fresh air : Our local woods are bursting with bluebells, the birds are twittering and all of nature seems to be welcoming us outside.

Spending time outdoors in April does seem to require some planning in the form of layered clothing and appropriate snacks. Whilst a picnic may be too ambitious you can’t really go wrong with a hot flask and a chunk of cake or sandwich. I plan to find myself a mossy log, drink my tea and let the wind blow away the winter cobwebs.

In preparation for proper picnic weather, our tablecloths make magnificent picnic rugs. Handmade from durable European linens, they will withstand the unpredictable weather and can be thrown into the washing machine and tumble dryer. Order yours here before we run out.
