picnics with friends

You can't beat a teddy bears picnic

for a simple and fun way to spend a summers afternoon.

It always amazes me how providing the same lunch as normal,

but on a picnic blanket surrounded by teddies

makes it all so much more exciting.

My two would happily have lounged on the blanket,

cuddling their bears,

while grazing on little snacks

for the whole day if they could.

And I loved it too.

Fresh air, a warm day, a cooling breeze

and happy playful children,

what's not to love?

We were sent these lovely bears by House of Fraser

and a voucher to enjoy a teddy bears picnic and tell you all about it.

I'm sure we'll be having many more before the summer is out,

so thank-you House of Fraser for giving us the incentive.
