On a picnic
When the weather is fine I sometimes have a picnic at the weeke nd. Three of my close friends are great lovers of picnics, too. So, first of all I phone them to learn if they can go out with me or not.
Usually we arrange a date and time for a picnic beforehand. Also we discuss all the matters and appoint persons responsible for music, games, setting the table and the like.
I must say that everyone dreams to change the scenery and relax. Sometimes there`s a great desire to escape from reality of our life. As a rule, all my friends accept my invitation to go on a picnic with pleasure.
Claire and Catherine taketheir pets with them. Claire has got a beautiful collie and Catherine owns a big bulldog. Mary wants to take her persian cat on a picnic, too. But she is afraid that dogs hate cats. So the cat has to stay at home, because we need the dogs badly to guard our company.
Once we chose a wonderful place for our rest. It is a very picturesque place in the countryside not far from our neighbourhood. My dad gave us a lift, that`s why we had a chance to take a lot of necessary things with us: a tent, sleeping bags, rucksacks, a hammock,a portable fridge, a barbecue, water carriers, a gas cooker,thermos flasks and so on.
First we pitch our tent, hang a hammock up and arrange everything in a good order.
Then Claire burns a fire and takes care of the barbecue. She is always very good at cooking grilled meat. Catherine starts to set the table. Mary and I take water carriers and go to the nearest village well for fresh water.
The dogs have nothing to do, but play hide-and-seek, run after each other and bark. Sometimes they try to steal a piece of meat from Claire`s but she doesn`t allow them to do it.
It has already become a tradition for us to discover new and unknown things around. For example, Claire gathered a big collection of spiders, butterflies and beetles. She considers some species to be very rare. Catherine drew quite a few interesting sketches of the countryside landscape.
In the evening we keep late hours: we warm near the fire, enjoy mysterious nature and silence around. I always tell endless stories to my friends. They say, I am a good storyteller.
When the time for our departure comes, everybody wants to delay it and lengthen the happy hours of our picnic.
