A pic-i-nic!

Saturday lunch was eaten in Ramsbottom with Stephen and my brother. We had gone up on the steam train and needed something vegetarian that fit into our odd food requirements.

I learned a number of lessons from this lunch.

1. If you pack a sandwich with bananas it tastes like banana.
2. If you use a cookie cutter to make a manwich you will impress everyone but your mother
3. That yoghurt really didn't go everywhere.
4. Even I can't eat that many strawberries in one sitting.
5. Stephen can still fit a bag of fudge in though.

Just a small note on the strawberries. They where sent up first class by Stephens parents. Gown in their own back yard. They are lovely, the strawberries and the parents. Thanks!

Trying not to sound cheesy...

So I didn't manage it. I had no need to buy an emergency cheese sandwich or pizza and I was looking forward to finishing Sunday right on target. Until my aunt told me there was Parmesan on the pasta. Oh well. Another week, another chance. And this time I have my new laptop lunch box.

Today I had some pasta in tomato sauce in the lidded compartment, some grapes, some beautiful British strawberries, and some rather unhealthy crisps. But yummy. I know the two sections of fruit may seem extravagant but there is no way I can pass up fresh British Strawberries. They are lovely, gorgeous and all the better for only being found this time of year.

Then I finished the day with a good old fashioned sausage sizzle (veggie sausages on the left). Well I just supervised the Guides sizzling. But I did buy the sausages and stuff. And carry them from the supermarket. Which wore me out so much I had to carry out a crime. Well there where some 'street walk' chalks on sale and well... As you can tell I found them a lot more difficult to write with then I remember them being.
