The sun is out (at last!), the days are long and golden, and I’m dreaming of lazy afternoons on the Cornish cliffs… a secluded cove, a cosy blanket, and a delicious spread of treats.
And if you’re a fan of my Redcliffe Novels, you’ll know that a certain pack of handsome werewolves might just be spotted enjoying a romantic Cornish afternoon tea of their own!

1️⃣ The All-Important Blanket
No proper picnic happens without a beautiful blanket. You want comfort, warmth, and practicality—especially if your date is a werewolf who might need to stretch out after a big meal! 🐾
- English Heritage Waterproof Wool Picnic Blanket – £38.00
Perfect for Cornish cliff tops and unpredictable English weather. Soft, sustainable, and waterproof—ideal if you need to make a quick escape when the pack’s rivals arrive! - Recycled Wool Throw – Large Check – £35.00
Wrap this around your shoulders when the sea breeze picks up, or snuggle close to your vampire lover as the sun sets. - Pumpkin Houndstooth Wool Throw – £70.00
This one screams autumn vibes—and who says you can’t picnic all year round? Jessica and Danny Mason certainly would. 🍁
2️⃣ A Basket of Treats (for humans and wolves alike!)
Now for the fun bit—the feast! Why not indulge in some luxurious English flavours as you relax and watch the waves? Here’s what I’d pack for an afternoon with the Redcliffe wolves:
- English Heritage Red Onion Marmalade – £4.50
Perfect with cheeses and cold meats—rumour has it Alpha Danny Mason enjoys this with a good steak. - English Heritage Strawberry & Marc De Champagne Preserve – £4.50
Add some glamour to your scones, and toast to forbidden love under the sun. 🍓🥂 - English Heritage Blackberry Wine – £14.00
Deep, rich and mysterious… much like a certain vampire we know. Best enjoyed as the shadows lengthen. - English Heritage Strawberry Wine – £14.00
Light and summery—ideal for a girls’ afternoon on the beach or a secret tryst in the woods. - Rochester Ginger Drink – £4.75
A zingy non-alcoholic option. Great for keeping the senses sharp—essential if you suspect your local ruins are haunted! 👻
3️⃣ Little Extras
Of course, you’ll need a few extras to complete your spooky-sweet adventure:
- English Heritage Bear – £20.00
A charming gift for younger picnickers—or a talisman to keep watch over your spread while you explore ancient ruins. - Whitby Abbey Juco Shopper Bag – £7.00
Stylish, sturdy, and ever-so-slightly Gothic—perfect for carrying your picnic (and maybe a few spell ingredients). 🕯️✨
Where Will You Picnic Next?
There are so many stunning English Heritage sites just waiting for you to visit with your perfectly packed basket—from windswept castles to serene abbey gardens. And who knows? You might just glimpse a wolfish figure watching from the cliffs, or a mysterious stranger lingering by the gatehouse…
