Picnic times at Harewood House

I am loving this heatwave! After so many summers looking wistfully out on the window to cloudy skies, drizzle or intense rainfall its nice to enjoy the excellent weather. With this in mind J and I decided to venture out to Harewood House last Saturday for a picnic. So I covered up in factor 30 (lobster red skin is never a good look in my opinion), put together a salad based picnic and we chilled out in a shady spot by the lake.

Chilli, lime and coriander seafood

J and I made a sort of salsa thing. Roast some garlic and very good quality tomatoes, mash some avocado and add lemon, roughly mash the roast tomatoes in with the avocados. Healthy and tasty.

It goes particularly well with Serrano ham

I love a good picnic

Leaves (chewing the cud)

The courtyard

I loved this little flower stall

Mother duck

Ducks and their ducklings

A heron (reminds me of the Animals of Farthing Wood)

The lad himself
