Yesterday we invited a couple to our house. We also came to know about the fundraising event 'Oliver's Picnic' through our friends falling on the same day. It was also coinciding with the last day of the 'National Picnic Week' so we decided to take our guest for a picnic and wanted to have a three-in-one picnic.
I started cooking with so much of enthusiasm. I cooked everything in the menu except Tortillas(readymade) for 4 of us and our little one.This was the menu i planned for the picnic.
I've linked my previous posts for some recipes .Was too busy cooking and missed out taking pictures of some and will be posting a few soon.

It was a big relief for me after cooking everything on time.
Before talking more about Oliver's Picnic. Let me explain who is Oliver and why a picnic on his name?
Oliver Scholes is a toddler who passed away sadly last year at 2 years of age because of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and his parents hosted 'Oliver's Picnic' in memory of him as a fundraising for 'The Histiocytosis Research Trust' . To know more please visit www.10kforolly.co.uk
When we were about to start packing for the picnic, it started downpouring. We didn't want our guest to feel uncomfortable having their lunch drenching in heavy rain and decided to have our picnic meal at home. That didn't stop us going to the picnic. We packed some crisps & juice and headed to 'Oliver's Picnic' to celebrate the National Picnic Week' for a good cause.
The rain has stopped for a while when we reached there.The entry fee was very much affordable £1 per adult and just 50p per child which included a free drink too.
There were lot of games for children.
It started downpouring again.
.
We went inside an eatery to escape rain and had some yummy snacks.
A newspaper has reported, despite the rain 1000 people attended 'Oliver's Picnic ' yesterday raising £5000
