I would have salad and corned beef and coronation chicken. Coronation chicken has made low carbing easier .

I would have greek yoghurt , raspberries and wall nuts. Can't believe I ve jusy written that because if you d asked me a year ago it would have been sandwiches cake and crisps :)

Is there still time then for latecomers? Or are you all sated now and drunk on snorted mead, dancing (in the nude) around a midsummer bonfire?

I'll bring a midnight feast with more chicken thighs with soured cream, chives, celery, apple & walnuts, smoked salmon & soft goats cheese rolls, mixed herby leaf salad, courgette, parmesan & walnut muffins, olives, strawberries & clotted cream with home made almond shortcake, and home made lemonade.

PS And maybe we need some citronella candles to keep away the midges?

Hi carb Foods
Ha! I'm forever the designated driver, it seems ;)
I tend to be the designated decoy:cool:, given that I'm a bit unsteady on my feet (due the effects of the bleed stroke:grumpy:),after sitting for a while (but once I'm up I can walk for miles!):happy::happy:

Please can I share your picnic? I'll bring homemade cheesecake, a cheese board, wine, peanuts, dip, crudités, prawns and garlic mayo! Yum!

Sorry to hear about your stroke, but it doesn't sound as though you're letting it stop you!

My problem is getting up once I'm grounded - my blasted knees don't have that "get up from the floor" movement in their repertoire any longer...:(:(

If its going on for a while, can someone please bring (and play) a guitar so that we can sit around the fire and sing silly songs. Nothing quite like a singsong outside after dusk.

Will there be a camp fire or any entertainment ????
YES
Happy Litha Avocado and welcome to the picnic. Unfortunately, I won't be sitting near you, 'cos I can't have / don't like any of what's on your plate........ on the other hand, that means I won't be tempted to pinch anything off your plate so,... I will sit beside you if you don't mind, and can I stroke your *****? :playful: xx
Maybe you could stroke the ***** as well:cat:

New Day,
As I've not been invited yet can I bring a Boar on a Platter, and a Partridge in a pear tree so I don't come empty handed ?:singing:
