Pique-nique in June

We try to use the sunny days to our 'mandatory' pique-nique's and as the day was sunny and warm we left the house at lunch bringing our vegetarian meal and snacks.

These crackers were very tasty containing cheese and seeds of pumpkin.


Aurore's homemade makis (makisuchi) were delicious....


...and the cherry tomatoes as tasty as they were read!


Of course we should have brought white wine not Perrier and Coke but one can't have it all?!

When lying in the grass after the meal, four young men crossed the small bridge, passing us on their way to prepare for a barbecue on the other side of this small 'island'.
Again I established the fact that it's still a great difference between most French young men and women and most Swedish young men and women, concerning their behaviour.
These young men passed us saying 'bonjour' - even though we didn't know each other - and this would never happen in Sweden!
They arranged with their barbecue and listened to music but not - as with Swedish youngsters - at 120 decibel but in a very moderate way.
This is extremely nice for me as a Swede being used to the rude behaviour of not least people living in Stockholm.
