As there are few flowers in my garden at this time of year, I have decided to bring the orchid along which a friend gave me for my birthday - it is standing in my sun room where it is protected from the icy winter rain.
For food - a lovely salad that I prepared - wild rocket leaves, half an avocado, small chopped apple, a third of a tin of whole kernel corn, some black pepper feta cheese, and dry roasted pumpkin seeds, drizzled with lemon-infused avocado oil, extra lemon juice and a few twists of sea salt and black pepper. (Those of you who know me, will know that I love salads & make one every day for lunch - even in the mid of winter!)
Oh dear, sorry. I was hoping to put on a flowery dress, but it is freezing today - I quickly took this pic in the bathroom, and yes, I do wear the ankle length coat, woollen hat, scarf and Dickens mitts in my house!
Oh, I'm loving to see what everyone else is wearing, the beautiful flowers, and the food! And there is bubbly! Thanks for the invite, dear Kendalee - I'm having a great time!

The salad looks delicious.
I happened to be walking out that day and banged into the picnic. So I just crashed and had a cup of tea.
I was very welcomed because it is such an awesome group of ladies.
Love Renee xoxo
