A picnic of plums and hot chocolate
Plums hot choc quote
The Enchanted Wood, Enid Blyton
After we recently explored one end of a newly renovated local lane, Ari had the idea to bring Ben down it and surprise him with a picnic at the end, as there was a lovely big tree and grassy patch there.
We’ve been reading Enid Blyton’s The Enchanted Wood, and just happened to read a chapter involving a feast of plums and hot chocolate following a particularly exciting adventure up The Magic Faraway Tree so of course we had to give it a shot.
Ari made the hot choc himself and we packed it in a thermos, filling another with ice and blackcurrant cordial (and marvelling at how cool thermoses are).
We also packed sambos and very tasty flapjacks. Such a fun and lovely way to brighten up a mid-week lunch.
