Shall we eat outside?

 It's a lovely day today, tra la la! I'm so happy, the sun is out and it's my day off! let's eat outside!!

 One of the best things about setting up an outside dinner is the use of melamine plates, great big chunky plastic goblets and other indestuctable  items of kitchenware, it is forgiveable because it is outside, so if you have a whoopsie moment, no problem the crockery just bounces! get yourself a dog to eat anything you drop and you have a self cleaning. minimum of fuss get together! I think this will be my plan for Easter, an afternoon tea and a family bake off with silly prizes for the least effort (already know whose name is on that one!) and other silly titles.
 Only snag with eating outside is that you are confronted with all the shortcomings of your garden, whoops, did I forget to weed? give me trees, bluebells, shrubs anything but a mixed border! my ongoing battle of wits with Colonel squirrel of the Red House platoon  has reached new peaks of sneakydom,  where are my agapanthus? eh, Mr Tufty? stop looking so cute washing your whiskers on my fence!!
Have a great day !
