Al Fresco

Every day this summer, my yard has been the place for breakfast and lunch…..A hot sunny summer…

Love to be outdoors. My guest, who came for six days, loved eating there. My courtyard ( below).

Inspiration was a Moroccan courtyard (below), blue and white.

Of course, my courtyard is not so grand. And I couldn’t tile such a large project, although I love tiling and mosaics.

This is my friend’s kitchen table, adjoining an open-plan kitchen.

Although I have a large kitchen, I never got around to buying a dining table. My small garden is partly roofed, as is my courtyard, and I like to eat there. I have a small table and fold-up chairs, so I can accommodate a few people for parties or eating outside.

This is his summer dining room. It was originally an open balcony.

Sometimes, I pack a lunch and eat in the favorite garden of a hotel that I visit. It’s so peaceful. I used to take a packed lunch to the beach, but it’s crowded these days.

Crowds are not for me.

Do you like to picnic? Eat in the fresh air, in a restaurant, in your garden or at the beach?

Do you have a picnic hamper, and what would you pack for lunch?
