Penny and I were given a challenge to go for a picnic every month this year. We have accepted the challenge. Anything to get us outside on the weekend and seeing more of our beautiful city.
It all started because we were getting together with friends for an afternoon and thought, we should take something for a picnic. We were given a picnic basket for a wedding present 17 years ago and never used it. Time to break it out in 2018. It’s a great basket, has 4 setting; plates, mugs, silverware, and plastic containers.
It was brilliant, sitting outside with friends having a feast while taking in the people around us, the sounds of the birds chirping, and the wind blowing through the trees.
It is now been three months with three picnics to get us out and about in our beautiful city. We are trying to go to different parks and even go with different friends to strengthen some connections with friends. We did Centennial Park for the first 2 picnics, but in different areas and Mrs. Macquaries Chair this past weekend. Such a great view with the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.
It has been such a wonderful change to our normal routine. We have learned so much about our friends we may not have learned due to spending more quality time with them.
I suggest you go for a picnic and out in nature more frequently.
Where would you go and what would you take on a picnic? Get out there enjoying the great outdoors.
