Thanks for another lovely picnic. I'm definitely going to have to bake another retro pudding for next week. Fudge tart or cornflake tart? Thanks to Rennie for our edible flower tasting session and giving us lots of basil to bring home. I can't wait to make some lovely fresh pesto with it. Meet you next week under the shelter as always.

A few more lovely pics of this afternoon. Thanks Harriet for sharing # #

Another amazing afternoon down the Green Backyard. Great to see you all. How delicious were those potatoes? And Clare's ginger cake was superb! 😍 I will share the event on Saturday if anyone wants to join us at Metal Peterborough for tea, cake and a chat about what Peterborough means to the children. Xx

Another amazing afternoon at the Green Backyard. So lovely to catch up with you all. Many of the bears have known each other since birth and it's nice to make new friends too. Thanks and see you next week! Xx

We won't be holding a Bring & Share Picnic at the Green Backyard this week as they are busy setting up for Smugglers on Saturday. Back again next week. Xx
