Happy Family Times # 8 ~ indoor picnic

Have you done something fun with your family? 

Carrie from Crafty Moms Share and I host  ~ Happy Family Times ~ so we can all share fun family ideas and hopefully inspire each other! So if you all danced one night, went for a walk, or enjoyed a special outing please link it up!

I adore books where food is almost a character…
…think of the fabulous feasts from the Harry Potter series
…the poignant food scenes in war torn Russia in The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons…
and (of course) Enid Blyton’s picnics *smile* 
And since Master D and I are enjoying The Faraway Tree series, picnics are rather on our minds *smile*
So when Husband of Mine asked what meal I would like for Mothers’ Day, I said, a picnic!
Our Autumn nights are chilly, so we happily rearranged our lounge room for our picnic dinner *smile*

 Before enjoying a scrumptious British picnic {Jamie Oliver style} comprising of…
~ sausage rolls
~ lovely asparagus
~ crunch salad
And finishing our wonderful meal with Eton Mess
{crushed meringue, crème fraîche, fruit bliss!}
The only thing missing was lashings of ginger beer {hee hee}
What a wonderful Mothers’ Day!! Thank you Husband xx

We can’t wait to see what your family has been doing!

Waldorf Autumn Picnic

After a chilly morning, Sunday warmed up into a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and warm sunshine.

In fact, it was a perfect day for a picnic ~ an Autumn Picnic ~ at our Waldorf school!


We found a great spot for our blanket and sat down to enjoy a sausage sizzle, followed by chocolate chip biscuits… mmmm

While families flew kites in the sky, joined in egg and spoon races, we found a great area to play…

…there were giant sandpits for digging and making cubby houses… and steps for creating your own waterfall…

…’magic dust’ to fill our pockets

…and glimpses of whimsy and magic

The only thing missing was lashings of ginger beer (well if you happen to be an Enid Blyton character on a picnic) *smile*

In our Autumn garden,
Where we singing go,
Leaves are falling, falling, falling,
Wild the winds do blow


Warmly, Kelly
