The Big Lunch

The Big Lunch happens on a Sunday every year, several of my local parks invited the community to come and have a picnic in the park and they set up music and children's games.
However, people do also have street parties or have some friends over.

I went with my mum and Kirsty to our local park, or as I used to call it, 'Duck Park'. 
The sun was out so it was a really nice, warm day. We took our picnic blanket and an umbrella to block out some of the sun, I get burnt very easily.
There was a local steel band playing throughout the day, a hut selling snacks and drinks, and free ice cream tickets for children.
We had fun watching all of the dogs and listening to the music and I went for a walk around the park afterwards and saw baby geese.
These are some of the photos from the day.
