We're going on a picnic ( new game)

Quentin. He's good with elephants???

Pomegranates - travel well

Ovaltine (in case it gets chilly in the evening)

Nibbles (for our midnight feast)

Matches (will need these to light the lanterns)

Lanterns (need to be able to see when it gets dark)

kayaks (for messing about on the river)

Hi John
what is it like having Roses for a neighbour?

John......he is a neighbour and is a dab hand with the barbecue.

Yes, a very pretty small river with swans and ducks ( fat ones, as they eat all the leftovers.)

Inner tubes - you know, you can blow them up and float on them in the river (we are picnicking near a river I take it?)

Hay. As above

germoline for those nasty scratches!

Should read!
Fly swats (might be a few flies buzzing with all that Elephant dung)

Fly swats. (Might a few with all that Elephant dung )

Elephant food. They're vegetarian, so plants and lots of hay. Think we'll have to bring it with us though - of course they'll have to carry that too

Dancing shoes. We've got the jukebox and the radio so will need these

Chess and chequer boards (giant ones to go next to the ball pool)

Ball pool - for the kiddiwinks, or for those in their second childhood

Armchair ( inflatables. Need to be comfy to watch GN olympics

Zucchini, also known as courgettes, for a stir-fry

Wobble board (for exercises to work off all this food!)

I will be too sozzled on the gin and lemons to be strict.


Volvo ( to take me home after the picnic.)

Underwear - change of (in case we get caught short !)

TONIC. (WIth out the L....s!)

Nice one Indinana. Can't have too much sherbet (without the L word of course)
