Finally Summer is here, and with no more covid restrictions on travel it looks like we can all get back to enjoying hours of fun in the sun and picnics. If you are staycationing the UK is one of the most beautiful countries once you get out and about and its perfect for picnicking in! So lets look at some fun summer picnic products so you are dining out in style and comfort.
I am already dusting off our luxury picnic basket, washing the picnic blankets and planning our escapes to the beach (so get your beach trolley and cool box).
Where are you excited to visit with your family, friends or relations? Are you a beachbum, countryside lover or fancy a day out at a country home or two?
