I wanted to organize a classic style picnic, with a soft blanket placed on a green lawn, the food carried with a wicker basket... and a thermos of hot tea, which may not be so classic but it's a must for me.

Io adoro i pic nic... quando ero bambina, se la mia famiglia organizza un pic nic, o veniva invitato ad un pranzo sul prato, per me era sempre festa grande. Vedere le tue proposte mi riempie di entusiasmo, quasi quasi propongo ad amici e familiari un ben pic nic :-D
Grazie
