Topsham RSPB Reserve Picnic 5/5/21

On Wednesday Gill and I took a picnic lunch to the Bowling Green Marsh RSPB reserve at Topsham. With the restrictions still in place, we tend to be totally self sufficient for refreshments. So we set off with two flasks of hot water, a flask of soup, tea and coffee etc.

While it was a mainly sunny day, there was still a cold wind, so although it is now May, we are still having to wear our winter cloths.

We stopped in the Bowling Green Marsh reserve, finding a sunny sheltered spot for our picnic.
