Pilgrim's Antiques Centre West Street Dorking. Picnic time.

Wow! What a wonderful week of hot and sunny weather we have enjoyed in Surrey.
It has been a time for long refreshing drinks and picnics- a time for relaxing under the cooling branches of the newly green leaves.

I have just 2 pictures for you this week.
I spread a cloth over a table in the back yard of the shop and found items from many dealers in Pilgrim's Antiques Centre which reflect the picnic mood.

You would see things better if you enlarged the pictures by clicking on them and then returning to the main page with the back arrow on your computer.

It was one item, to be seen on the first picnic table, which gave me the idea of this week's theme.
It is the ceramic boater on the right.
The crown of the hat lifts off to reveal a large platter for cheese or other tasty picnic bites.
It is for sale in Jo's area.
Jo also has the chairs that I used - she has 4 of them.

Let us hope we have a long, hot summer - not too hot for those of you who find the heat a problem.

The shop is normally quite cool - so come in and escape the heat of the High Street midday sun.

There are many open air events during the summer, such as the Polesden Lacey Festival or the Wisley Festival - both close to Dorking. Spread out a cloth on your camping table and picnic in style.
