We did a similar thing on Valentine's Day, although not because it was that day, just my husband had the day off work. We drove our campervan to a lovely river nearby. It was early, frost on the ground and the sun trying to warm the day up. We walked the dog by the river then returned to cook breakfast in the van. Then my husband blew up the paddleboard and went out on the river whilst I stayed with the dog. We had coffee and cake when he got back, then left the car park as it started to fill up. Perfect morning and it was still only 11.30! A morning I will remember.
How lovely, this is what I like to do too, not always as a romantic gesture but even on my own. There's nothing nicer, especially in the crispness of winter.
thanks so much for your post! I agree, and we call them the 'good old days' when couples and families would picnic in the park or by a lake, something about being in the open fresh air makes it all the better! nighttime stargazing is fun too .
this is exactly our kind of date, too, 17 years and going strong. thanks for this lovely post and grandma ella! and yes to mixing that baking powder/soda thoroughly into the flour before adding wet ingredients.
