Picnic with my fur-babies

Those who have been following my FB or twitter might have known that I was ill some weeks ago.  Once I was well, I took Louis and Emmie to their favorite free to roam spot for a picnic! My 2 fur babies have been cooped up at home for the duration I was ill and didn’t get their usual daily walks so owe them a day of free running!

They were due for grooming and a bath it was their chance to get dirty in the grass and mud!

I wore a one- piece navy blue tube romper… Looks like a skirt at the bottom but it’s actually shorts!

I cooked up a storm for the picnic both for human consumption and for my dogs too.

Louis was extremely anxious for his picnic meal! I cooked brown rice with lamb and carrots for the both of them. Brought out one tiny container and one huge one for them to share and it was gone in seconds!

The mini feast consists of ham and cheese sandwiches, baked potatoes with chicken mayo, crispy chicken, fried rice, bacon and blueberry muffins. All home made by yours truly.

The white thing above is the chicken mayo to be filled into the baked potatoes.

I wanted to decorate the muffins but was afraid the icing would melt in the hot weather so I decided to leave it plain.

My mini sandwiches in several animal shapes.

It was a really fun day and I was exceptionally happy to have recovered from the flu so it was a cause for celebration. My nose was red and peeling! I hate runny nose!

These photos below are rather random but the flowers looked so pretty I couldn’t resist a sharing  a few shots.

Beauty surrounds us… if we only stop to look.

      Katherine,

      London is pretty easy to travel. Within London, you can take the tube to all the major attractions.. do be prepared to walk though. If you’re intending to head to the outskirts, you can either take the rail or drive.

      PS – the location I can’t reveal but it’s in the east and pretty ulu!

    heyo, just wondering how to i get to this place? where is it at actually? =)

      piggyneo,

      Sorry babe, can’t say where it is. Singapore is too congested in my opinion and it’s really hard to get a place for my fur-babies to run free. The few times I shared my locations, they got too crowded and my little ones couldn’t go anymore so I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way. Hope you understand.
