Today has been a beautiful day - all birdsong and blue skies. We decided
to make the most of it by spending the day outdoors, in a leisurely
kind of way, with a delicious picnic.
It was a bit of a snap decision so nothing was homemade, but it was
delicious nonetheless. Little pastries, scotch eggs, savoury scones with
cream cheese, olives and so on. Oh, and Victoria sponge cake!

We had our picnic in Burnham Beeches, which is a woodland not too far
from where we live. Although it is out near Slough, Burnham Beeches is
owned by the City of London, which I thought was interesting. As well as being very
beautiful it is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and has lots of ancient trees and some ancient earthworks that
are scheduled monuments.

It was a very pleasant way to spend a lazy day!
