Gordon: odd socks

"I was in time for the picnic though, thoughts verging between glacial calm and sheer terror. So once we found the patch of grass I just fell asleep. Call it a power-nap or exhaustion or blind panic. Whatever."

Amy Jackson: uptown shufflers

"Then after a while of talking and eating jaffa cakes jenowl and i decided it would be a good idea to roll down a hill. so we did. then vel and john decided to roll with us"

Lucy Alder: Who's your daddy?

"Jenowl hugged me! John John foisted Haribo sours and peanut cookies on me! Will, er, had plaits! I spotted Sunnyset because of her lovely, bouncy doggy but couldn't go and say hello because bouncy doggies and fishnet tights are a bad combination. Claws can easily get caught in little holes and I had no intention of looking like a St Trinian, so I stayed uphill and unladdered."

Neil Milton: memoirs... (or... how I stumbled upon a teddy bear's picnic)

"I don't know exactly at what point I decided to get up and join the little kick about that was going on with a ball that Ally had just bought but I thought it'd be sociable. We carried on passing the ball around for a little while and then someone decided on a match."

Will Salt: You were Jonathan to Stuart David

"We sat on a hill and ate; well, most people did, some just rolled down it. Apparently, it was the biggest Sinister picnic ever ever ever in recorded history. Some mad people went off to play football."

zvoruna: where the New York City picnics aren't bleeding me...

"my trip to the NYC belle picnic was a quiet one. sounds quite sinister to lay there in the grass and watch a picnic unfold. too shy to join in. really, i'm not a creep or a pervert though me telling you this would be your first indication to believe the exact opposite. i didn't have anything to add. i didn't bring any treats or cute blue blow-up bunnies. maybe next time.

are there any sinister people out there who showed up for a picnic.... and then didn't go?"
