Well, I’m certainly impressed and I didn’t even get to eat it!
2. Ian
Impressive. My style is far more chip ‘n dip plus beer and wine.

You appear to have mistakenly bought vegetables instead of gin.
Though she appears to have liked it, no?
4. Adrian
I was driving, and gin is not a good fuel for car breakdowns.
She did like.
Seems “The Sev” can still impress.
Although possible not if I carry on referring to myself as “The Sev”.
5. Karen
Tsk, look at all that packaging, Sev.
6. Adrian
It’s not too bad. There is only one thing of packaging per item. And if you’re not making everything it home, things need to be in a container. I think a little bit of wax paper for cheese isn’t to bad.
7. Sausage
Hmmm I never got no damn picnic from you :)
8. Matt
Ewww… Celery. Bleurgh.
Did you bring all the packaging home again with you so you could re-use it all though? I DON’T THINK SO.
9. Saltation
major impressage! hope she didn’t “have to” drive home…

I’m impressed!! A guy I met wanted to do Film in the Park a month or so ago, but because of timing and the fact I was going out of town the next day, I asked if we could do something else. He said he would have rushed around to do a picnic for us. Damn. I should have kept my mouth shut because maybe he would have whipped out something like this. I’ve never been on a real picnic :(
