'Ingredients for breakfast on a campsite in the South of France' by Jane Claire Jackson

Fresh air - no wind
1 bright yellow/orange tablecloth with a leafy olives design 
Orange juice 
Sunshine filtering through the trees
The shade of a stripy awning 
1 crusty baguette
Bird song
A selection of jams (fig, strawberry, cherry...)
Sunglasses
Honey (both runny and solid)
1 dog (on a lead) stretched out under the table
Yoghurts
Children cycling past in the alley
Slices of watermelon 
Oleander flowers in various shades of pink and white 
Croissant/pain au chocolat/pain au raisin
Yesterday's towels and bikinis/swimming costumes drying on a line 
The smell of fresh coffee or an apple and cinnamon infusion 
The murmur of neighbouring families preparing for the day 
All the time in the world
