A sunny Saturday, a drive in our MX-5 and a picnic hamper from Pickles & Potter. Perfect!
Anyone who lives in Leeds should know about this because it is really good value and a lovely treat. It’s £15 and you can call ahead so it’s ready to pick up. There is a branch in the city centre and one in Headingley.
Contents of a picnic bag:
2 sandwiches
2 packets of organic kettle chips
2 sausage rolls
Salad box
2 cold drinks
2 chocolate brownies
Tea towel
Serviettes & plastic cutlery
All crammed into a lovely hessian bag.
We took our picnic up Sutton Bank to the White horse and watched the gliders. It felt like a lovely old fashioned summer outing and avoided the awful Saturday shopping crowds of Leeds.

That’s genius. I spent way more than that in there the other day just on lunch for us and the 2 kids…this would have been perfect.
