Picnic in style with the trend setters. As the sun shines and we are all out and about enjoying the fantastic array of sporting events we have available at the moment having just had the European football cup and Wimbledon Tennis Tournament in full swing. We also have the pleasure of the British Grand Prix this weekend and an abundance of horse race meetings. Not forgetting those fantastic summer regattas, evening outdoor concerts and plays that you can attend and take along your very own picnic. For all of these great events a mix of great food and company can make a good evening to become a exhilarating excellent evening . So what do you take? Well gone are the days when you just took the old car rug and no longer is the sandwich box with a sandwich and sausage roll in top of the picnic ingredients. Now today it’s all about indulgence.

You need comfort in the form of table and chairs (remember you may have to carry them a long distance, so make sure they are light). There are some great outdoor furniture which can be found on price grabber which is well worth a look.

This range of furniture is not only exceptional value for money but its light and easy to carry. So just dress it up with your own table ware, glasses, napkins and table cloth etc and your ready for a picnic hamper loaded with goodies. Fill your hamper full of regional delicatesses, honey meats, speciality cheeses, rustic breads, mouth watering quiches, tasty nibbles & savouries.

Don’t forget the cool box with somefrozen ice packs in to keep everything at a safe temperature for you to avoid any nasty bugs later. Plus the cool box can become yet another surface for your feast.

I found this brilliant product Bodum K1790-01 Yoyo Set - Cup and Plastic Infuser Its a corona glass mug with personnel infuser. With a capacity of 0.4 litre, 13 oz which gives you a rich tasting tea made from tea leaves, not bags. This infuser is not only easy to use but also easy to clean. Perfect for everyday use and your picnics so make sure you have a flask of hot water with you.

The important parts though are don’t forget the table dressing to create your own little ambience. Take a table cloth, napkins, chopping boards, an array of cutlery, plates etc and candles are a must. I recently noticed alot of chandeliers being taken too these events aswell. But it’s all about having fun. So enjoy the good company, scrumptious food and electric atmospheres and keep warm when the night draws in with either a loving arm or remember a blanket. Enjoy yourself!
