Having had a dolled up afternoon in the Steward's enclosure on the Thursday, I had wanted Eliane and Matt to see the other side of the regatta.The side where we grab a few bits and pieces for a picnic and a bottle of Pimm's and another of lemonade, have a wander half way down the course and find a spot for a picnic amongst the other plebs. It was a lovely afternoon with pleasant weather and good company. For someone who didn't have much in the fridge or pantry I was able to put on a half decent spread and was quite impressed with myself. There was definitely no room for anyone to be hungry :)
