So Fiona and I have made the journey from Twickenham back to Woodley for the day tomorrow and have just come back from food shopping.

Fiona suggested that it would be an idea to tell you all what we have to bring for the picnic should we be lucky enough not to have to call it off because of the rain.

Once more, sandwiches will be on the menu from this part of the forum. Ham and Cheese mostly, with Salad.

Cakes will include Tiffin and Ginger cake.
We have also purchased cherry tomatoes and mini party sausages for nibbling.

Now we've just got to make the cakes and the sandwiches. Hopefully with Fiona's calculations we won't end up with as many sandwiches as last time.

So hope this is suitable for picnicking.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow- Time to get baking!

Rosie and I are bringing sausage rolls and green salad.

I'm staying near London Saturday night, so Rosie needs to get the train back to Poole. If anyone is going in the direction of a Dorset bound railway station she'd be grateful for a lift.

A young lady fro Singapore has come to me today, and is coming to Twyford tomorrow, so I've invisted her to the picnic. Hope OK!

We'll bring some ginger beer and biscuits.

We've also arrived at the Bird in Hand, just over a mile and a half from Twyford. Moonraker, Stephen says you'll love the beer here there's a great choice!!

I'm very envious, Julie, I'm still 60 miles from Twyford and will remain so until tomorrow morning! It will be the first time my car has been out of Salisbury for a year and a half, so I'm a little apprehensive. I still think a sunny afternoon in my garden is a tempting option! :lol:

Still trialling other writers, but will eventually go back to reading a bit of Blyton! Just too many books...

Occasionally will pop in! xx

I'm getting hungry already. Even the Famous Five would approve of this feast

Wow, this is shaping up to be quite a spread!

I will be bringing along my friend Dawn, and since there seem to be plenty of cakes we will bring something savoury and vegetarian (whatever the Tesco's at Paddington station has to offer!).

Looking forward to tomorrow :D
