Picnic at Roath Park Lake

When the unlikely happens...

I am starting to realise that some of the things on my list are going to be a bit difficult to achieve. Such as the brewery tour... incidentally, there is no brewery tour. Or a night in St David’s Spa...as if I could afford that. Some of the things that I didn’t think were possible, have been unnervingly possible. Take a ‘night out with Cardiff Celeb Royalty’ which was initially on there as a bit of a joke, but cue a night out with Matthew Rhys off of Brothers and Sisters, Brian Fortuna off of Strictly and Joe Calazaghe, off of, well you know where. Although, that is a story for another time.

However, one that I thought was a bit unlikely was a picnic in Roath Park Lake and to row a boat on said lake. What are the chances of the weather being good enough for a picnic, and for everything else to come together? Not so easy. On Saturday I managed to complete half of the task. Sun, tick. Spare time, tick. Friends, tick. A bag full of M&S deli goodies including wine, tick. Boats....negative. I think however, as I have rowed on the lake before, that I’ll take the task as completed, although if the opportunity presents again before I go, I’ll be sure to get a-rowing.

I’m a bit fond of these picture video thingys now, so here’s another one of our lovely picnic featuring the lovely Lynsey May, and the man himself who is stealing me away.
