Well after all that, the weather Saturday turn out absolutely georgeous. The picnic went down a treat backed by a lovely warm, sunny day. Actually I managed to get a bit burned as I wasn't expecting such a hot day and didn't put any cream on. I made a nice pasta salad for the first time. I must mention that i'm not excatly brilliant in the kitchen, in fact chaos is very likely to occur. But it turned out alright. I even made my own dressing, which i'm very proud of. I used balsmic vinegar with a little olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Quite simple really. Other ingredients for the actual salad included cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, basil leaves, spring onion, red pepper and shredded carrot seasoned of course with a little pepper and sea salt. For a first attempt I was quite chuffed and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Then we just laid down under the sun with some music on and just chilled out. Perfect. If anyone's got any other good ideas for picnic food or any other salad recipes, please post them! :)
