A Very British Picnic

• About the book

This nostalgic and often hilarious collection of images taken in the last century capture the wonderfully defiant spirit of those that picnic in the British Isles. Whether tucking into crisp sandwiches in a field of cows, sharing a thermos flask on the edge of a windy cliff, or having a cheeky cuddle under a tree - the people in these pictures represent community, friendship and optimism. So don't forget: if your car breaks down, get out the tartan blanket, sit on the roadside and enjoy the simple, honest fun of time spent in good company while eating white bread and drinking mildly warm tea
