Cue the panpipes

Daisy has been pestering me for weeks to go on a picnic. Which was fine because I thought that we would be able to get away with it in the garden. But oh no, it had to be “in the bush”. So we could “see Koalas”. Hmmm. It’s no wonder I kept putting it off – it can be hard in the week to find time for picnics in the bush when there is shopping, cleaning, washing, blogging a little work and school to do day in, day out. Monday morning we woke to cloudy, foggy conditions which I thought gave us a valid excuse not to go, but when the afternoon cleared, and we had nothing else to do, we just got on with it, packed a basket, jumped in the car and off we went.

Why did I put this off?

Fresh air. Sunshine. Views. Bush. No Koalas. Some afternoon tea. Some time with my girls. And a donut that was dropped and rolled like a wheel all the way off the cliff and into the valley! A perfect way to spend a Monday afternoon.

  1. Lovely! What a beautiful day and the view is brilliant! Hmmm… picnics… I’ll have to put one on the agenda! Thanks for the idea!

  2. It’s sometimes hard to find time to do ‘fun’ things when there are so many chores to get through. Usually, if not always, they turn out such fun and we wonder why we didn’t do them sooner! x

  3. mum of the week, for sure!… looks beautiful, and sometimes it’s such a good thing for all of us to take some time out to reconnect. kudos to you.

  4. What a glorious way to spend an afternoon Beth and those views – spec.tac.u.lar!

    How cute is Harper climbing those steps, I bet it was a very gentle stroll at toddler speed.

    Happy days indeedy….now why do I have “Picnic At Hanging Rock” theme song rolling through my mind?
    Ah yes, because you’re one very devious lassie and popped it there with your clever title!

  7. We’re a big fan of the picnic, and we don’t go all out either – just a blanket, some food from the pantry packed into a lunchbox, and off we go!

  12. Oohhh that looks like such fun! Is that fitzroy falls? I remember going there as a kid but I could be confused. We are surrounded by beach up here in sunny qld which is great for some, but I do miss the bush and mountains. Oh give me mountains! Your girls are divine xo
