Reading Jane Austen's Sanditon and making rice noodle salad

Welcome, dear viewers, to Books and Picnics! I recently indulged in a weekend of slow living enjoying what's most dear to me: reading, cooking, and exploring the countryside.
I read Jane Austen's fragment Sanditon for the first time, made a delicious and simple rice noodle salad and took a long walk around a beautiful lake. The wonderful May weather was the cherry on top.
