Oh, Pippa Middleton. We always love hearing from you. 

And today, the savvy sister of the Duchess of Cambridge has a few pieces of advice to share when it comes to planning the perfect picnic!

Yes, that's right, the Waitrose Kitchen magazine contributor penned a column in their May issue advising readers on how to prepare a "romantic picnic for two," waxing poetic about her ideal scenario: "I'm in Provence, in a field just off the beaten track, where we've parked the car and thrown a quilted rug across the dry, parched grasses." 

She goes on to describe the "plump peaches, figs and strawberries, oozing ripe cheeses and crunchy baguettes, torn and ready to mop up every last morsel."

Wow! Now that's what we call a posh picnic!

According to The Daily Mail, Middleton also recommends investing in tea towels with "French stripes, enamel plates and quilted rugs" to showcase your delectable picnic menu, consisting of smoked chicken and melon salad, fig and goat cheese fougasse, strawberry and lavender cheesecake jars, peach and vanilla fizz and more." Um, yum. 

We have to admit her inventive tips are certainly stylish and chic, but a gourmet Provencal picnic isn't our biggest priority at the moment.

Pippa, will be sure to take note for next time!
