The joy of a winter picnic

We all know that food tastes better outdoors yet when it comes to picnics, most of us think we need to have a beautiful hot day. To cheer ourselves up one grey Sunday afternoon in January recently, we decided to pack up a picnic using whatever was in the fridge. We made egg salad sandwiches, packed a flask of tea, had a tiny bottle of wine and packed up plenty of blankets and cushions.

After our walk, we found a hidden spot at Lough Hyne and made ourselves comfy. Hot tea, carrots with hummus, fresh sandwiches, it was joyful! We lazed about wondering why we don't do this more often. It really helped to cheer us up and I plan on doing more winter picnics over the coming weeks! What are you waiting for?
