Caroliners enjoy picnic in the park

Different folks bought different things to the day – from a barbie  (found in the street), chairs, tables, and, of course, lots of food and drink that was shared amongst the Caroliners. All had a great time, from 3-month-old Aria to Esbeth the Catholic nun and everyone in between, all contributing to the success of the day.

Lunch drifted into the early afternoon with lots of shared stories and enough liquid to keep those stories afloat, mixed with renovations dramas and the sharing of some of the odd things that happen around these neck of the woods. 

The police sailed past a number of times, we gave a wave, and all was well. At the end of the day we agreed that this was a positive thing to do and we are looking forward to the next one.

Before the Caroliners left the park all helped to clean. Neighbours swapped emails, the odd photo was taken and many resolved to make another gathering happen, maybe like this one but later in the day to take off into the evening.
