Oh your lovely essay brings back so many memories.
In Denmark we did the same as the British, when I was a kid: Stopped the car right along the road for lunch if the ground was level and the view was pretty.
We had a table with four little chairs inside. And my Mum had made the smørrebrød and put it on little trays in a red metal box with room for a frozen plastic square.
Beautiful! I felt like I was on the blanket with you. Except for Pompeii. You painted such a lovely picture of you and your memories with the chilled red wine. I could see it all. ♥️
Only 48 days until the annual July 3rd Picnic!
Ha! I thought about that. Let’s hope it doesn’t rain again!

Beer for my Dad and soda for my Mum and us kids.
Lucky you! I wish I could see that red metal box! (Also, please tell me what smørrebrød is?) :)

YouTube of the It Takes a Thief picnic scene.
It’s a great scene right? Love that you watched that.
More picnic coverage please! One of my favorite movie moments is when the characters go off to some elegant picnic in a beautiful countryside.
Thank you, Kathleen. You are a very elegant picnicker, if I my memory serves me right! I bet you have wonderful recipes for picnic fare!
So love this for so many reasons!! Thank you. What wonderful pictures you’ve drawn in my head.
Thank you, John! They are still in mine too! ❤️
Love this so much. I need to fit in some picnic time this season, even if it’s just on the stoop.
Yes! I love the stoop drinks with you! (and I seem to remember some food there as well…)
It's a picnic in a way, right?
Most definitely! Although, I do remember some 🐝 one time! 🤪
Eh, that happens on the side of the road or in a meadow too... ;)
Right! But in my story I say to watch out for bees. Lolz 😂
