First Picnic of the Year

Well it's my favourite time of year, those first few days of sunshine when you can still dream that it might last endlessly into early Autumn, where the days pile up ahead laden with picnics,  summer walks and hours of basking in the balmy breeze. Our first thoughts turn to camping and all that it brings, adventure, escape, long days of worrying only about your next meal and how to enjoy your glass of wine.

So our first picnic is out of the way, and I've just realised that I haven't pre-booked a single campsite , which will no doubt turn out to be a major mistake - my to do list for tomorrow grows longer! Our new camping stove is a true gem, providing not only essential heat for those well earned meals, hours can be spent lingering by this stove into the evenings. Even on those colder nights this wood burning stove can keep you warm, the only downside being that at some point you need to leave the heat and bridge the gap between the stove and your sleeping bag.
