I left Birmingham this morning and found myself near Reading. I managed to secure something taking me to Wales in the late afternoon so that’s me happy 😊. End the week in my favourite part of the Uk.
I even have plenty of time for lunch.
So I head out on a quest to find a spot where I can picnic.
This is where it goes downhill fast.
I stumble upon a place called “View Island”. Sounds promising right? Exciting maybe. Just the place where I can have my picnic ya? Nope.
It was crap! No disrespect to the locals or the volunteers who put the effort into rewilding the place but unless you’re a fan of graffiti and weed (the stinging/itchy type not the get you high type) then it’s not for you or me.
That being said there a nifty little hydro-electric water energy system and I found the burial place of Mr Cables which is sadly neglected and left in an overgrown field. Oh and there’s a hell of a lot of cocaine just dumped here too!
I continue with my quest and find a lovely nice field. The grass has been trimmed there’s some other people enjoying a picnic too so I naturally assumed I’ve found the spot. Nope, universe is having a giggle at my expense. The whole field, I mean all of it is covered in duck sh!t, seriously 😒
I zigged n zagged across the entire field until I finally found a place free of duck sh!t to park my mat and have my lunch/picnic and ideally a nap before the last leg of the day.
So, do you need a courier who rather enjoys a picnic on a Friday afternoon during work hours? You should 🤪😁
