Spring is the perfect time for picnics. Get out into the countryside as soon as you can, all you need is a sandwich and a drink, a rug to sit on so you can gaze up at the sky through the blossom. It's not too hot yet in the middle of the day, so you can have your lunch time break out in the park or the countryside and be back at your desk ready for the afternoon.
Buy a brightly coloured thermos flask for coffee or tea to warm you up in case the weather turns cooler, and if you like try this recipe for a vegetarian picnic loaf that can be made the day before.
