It wasn't until a few days later that I realised I could tick off another item on my 30 before 30 list,
23. Go on a picnic.
I'd texted Jenna on a bit of a whim, asking if she'd like to go to the beach. Two texts and a phone call later we had plans for a picnic on the beach late that afternoon.
Jenna provided the food - there were stuffed capsicums, fetta, turkish bread, olives, salami, two kinds of dip and coleslaw.
The next day, when I was telling about our beach picnic, there was a clearing of the throat to indicate I wasn't giving this part of the story sufficient recognition. :)
It was a delicious picnic, all the nicer because I didn't have to do anything!
Mango + beach = incredible summer afternoon. Strawberries too.
The water did take a little getting used to - that sharp intake of air when you first submerge - but I loved it. A couple hours at the beach, chatting and laughing with my sister.
The first beach trip of summer. A wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve.
