About 30 members and friends enjoyed the ultimate relaxation after Christmas with our traditional picnic by the Yarra. It’s the fourth time we’ve gathered around Yarra’s Edge at the Lorimer St park, and it seems nicer every time.
The weather was perfect, the dappled shade a treat, the views up and down the Yarra splendid, and the ambience like a French impressionist painting.
Our hosts did a valiant job seizing three tables by mid-morning and the main table groaned with fine food provided by all of us. We got the chance to converse at leisure, getting to know new friends and catching up with old ones.
As one member put it, picnics are great because the ambience is quiet, the outdoors beats indoors, and no-one’s wallet get hurt. Looking forward to our next one!
