Because many of us are on the go in June, this month’s Invite features a simple popup picnic you can make ahead and enjoy later, when you need a break.

This lovely alfresco afternoon adventure starts with a pretty outdoor blanket and a picnic tray to transport all the fixings. Think grilled halibut sammies on rustic rosemary bread with a swipe of homemade tartar sauce and a topping of caramelized tomatoes.

Pop in pots of purple carrot and white bean hummus and golden squares of crispy flapjacks, washed down with rosemary lemonade and a limoncello chaser.

Hello, June!
