Thank you so much Pants I would love to attend your picnic and I will select a suitable cushion, is there a clean one? I have clean shoes and sox so can’t get them messy.
Mummy sent food for us, nibbles she calls them. Do we have napkins? And cutlery, only I don’t usually eat with my fingers, in case I get my clothes mucky.
Mummy doesn’t like me to be messy. And I’m not allowed to eat or drink anything with sugar in it . Apart from that I think I might quite enjoy myself
