May 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Foodie gifts, Outdoor cooking, Picnics

I am not looking how long this weather is going to last, but it makes me think that picnic season is well and truly upon us. Which means digging out all the picnic gear, and finding out what’s missing. And if I find our picnic blanket has gone missing, or has a big hole in [...]
