5 Tips For A Perfect Picnic
It’s wintertime and here comes the fine weather perfect for alfresco dining. There’s nothing quite like curling up on a blanket under the sun, or even stars, then nibbling your way through a hamper of tasty treats. We love being outside, and we love alfresco dining, so here’s our guide to hosting the perfect garden picnic.
Set the scene
Grab your blankets, as many as you need, then lay them down on your lawn, park or field in a desired place. Bring some cushions to pop behind your head when relaxing on the blankets. If it’s a hot and sunny day, you may want to choose somewhere shady to keep yourself a bit cooler during the hotter hours of the day.
Tasty treats
Prepare the nibbles you want to take. This could be a fine selection of cheeses and crusty bread or dips and crisps. Pack all your goodies tight into a cool box to keep them fresh and tasty all day long.
Chill ‘n’ grill
If you have a two-piece clay chimenea with a cooking grill, why not take some food to grill? Perfect for those garden picnics. However, if you’re planning a trip further afield, Our Camping BBQ Grills is portable and comes with carry bags.
Take your tunes
Taking some music along is always a nice addition to any outdoor occasion so be sure to pack your portable speakers. Don’t have any? Make a homemade speaker! If you have music on a smartphone, you can place your phone into a pint glass that will amplify the tunes!
Fire a Frisbee
Bringing a ball or a Frisbee gives you the option to have a little run around. It will break up the day and help you burn off your picnic grazing!
