Picnic basket, bubbly, nibbles, prawn salad, lots of cake
Just thinking of Picnic and the Park and ideas for your Picnic Hampers.
It is now only 1 day away and the weather forecast is hot and sunny. First there gets a place under the trees.
A reminder, towels if you are dipping, sun tan cream, mosquito cream as the sun sets the little beggars might be out.
Lots of preparations going on behind the scenes to make it a super event.
As the garden is a good size we still have a few places if we want to join the fun. These evenings in the past have been memorable.
Wednesday 24 th of July is our much anticipated musical event set by the banks of the Aveyron in Varen
Some of you are old hands and some of you are new to the area and to this event, so....
Firstly the garden is best found by taking the road by the Moulin in Varen. Probably best to enter the opposite end to the Moulin, see the green gates with balloons, unload your picnic gear then drive to park. A good place will be past the Moulin in the camping ground where there are also toilets.
You will be able to park all around the village of course.
If you have not paid you will be asked for 15 euros, children under 12 are free.
A suggestion if you are bringing children bring a towel as they are bound to want to paddle or swim before the Picnic
Also bring some anti mosquito spray or cream, ( we are by the river) A torch for leaving and candles etc for the table would also be useful. We will have some lighting.
The suggestion is to start the Picnic from 7 onwards
The music will start at 8pm / 20 hrs
Please try to listen to the music and get all your chatting done before hand. This is the time to drink the fizz and enjoy this group who are well known in their native Holland.
Apparently they leave us to do a world tour.
Any questions or queries can be directed to me.
If you want to pay and have not done so and want to ensure your place cheques or money can still be taken and handed to Sarah or Terence at the gate.
The garden is large so we will all fit in and the group will be amplified
Our thanks to newcomer to the village Deborah Eagle for hosting this event.
All money after paying the band will be donated to Jean Marie and Winnie Nosal for their charity Via Sahel Enfants d’Afrique
They have supported street children of Bamako in Mali for many years.
