One Planet Picnic

Today was the day for our local One Planet Picnic. One Planet Picnic is organised through Keep Scotland Beautiful and is a community event which anyone can run. The only 'rules' are that you should:


Include healthy, sustainable ingredients e.g. seasonal, local, organic, or ethical produce

Reduce packaging and food waste

We knew the weather forecast wasn't great and right enough the heavens opened this morning. But fortunately the local day centre had a huge open-ended  marquee borrowed from the Scouts for an event yesterday and offered to leave it up today.

NeighbourFood brought a pizza oven (blipped) and people brought their own seasonal toppings. There must have been 50 people of all ages enjoying neighbourliness, lovely food and chat. Despite the really heavy rain we all had a great time.
