A Pik Nik.
The first picnic of summer. 'Lang may yer lum reek'.
This is the time of the year when you kick off your shoes, and meander down to your local park, to surf on a grass wave. A time when school pencil cases are rummaged through for implements ( rubber-ball, ruler and protractor-bat ) for an impromptu cricket match and when your fun, special friends invite you along to a creative, homemade, Scottish feast within nature's outdoor arena.
It's the perfect time for Beer Shandy refreshments washed down with Colonsay Ale Crust Pie stuffed with Mull Cheddar and Onion, for Barley Broth Salads with Peat Smoked Salmon Frittata. A time for lying low on elbows and tasting Date and Walnut Sourdough Bread - from the Brixton Sunshine Bakery - topped with roasted carrot hummus. It's also the best time of year for keeping banter smooth and tucking into Vanilla Carrageen Puddings with Honey Stewed Rhubarb, Lemon Drizzle Cake and the champion friend of all Scot's picnics, the Tunnocks Teacake.
Alas, sorry folks, the picnic food tasted so good and looked so colourful, the blogger tucked in and forgot to take photos.
Next time I will be prepared.

'Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.'
