Sunday with friends...

On Sunday we invited a whole heap of people around for a traditional English BBQ. You know the sort ... move everything you might need outside, sit around wearing jumpers with the odd beer or two, watch the rain clouds roll in, make a dash for the living room, light grill and start cooking inside! Well all but the last bit of that was true as Ross and I with no thought for our own comfort braved the wind and the rain to cook food for everyone... ;0)

With the BBQ low on gas everything took an age to cook and the so the nibbles went down well. There were some opportunist nibblers who quickly realised that inside the nibbles were within grasp. All the boys seemed to eat their own body weight in snacks with the exception of an increasingly mobile Noah!... not long to go Ross and Sara until everything in your house is more than 3ft from the floor!



It was great to catch up with everyone again and also to have the Murdoch's around (I work with Ross at school!). Ross made quite an impression on the kids who allowed him to play with the train set... according to the many parents in attendance he is most welcome to come again! I also managed to get some valuable brewing advice from Dave, although the idea that he was only invited to give this advice is wide of the mark... he also got the invite so he could bring some brew of his own to share. Which he did! ;0) Check out Dave and Marianne's Blogspot.

Hi Pauly
English bbq's! no different this summer? - dictionary definition - second, warmest season! dictionary first published 1902! - yes, probably was the warmest season back then! however, sounded a great afternoon and can see that Alfie was fully focussed at the nibbles bar!
Also, went onto Dave & Marianne's blogspot - Alfie was certainly focussed! - still concentrating on nibbles when his friends had finished! V entertaining!
Hope everything is going well.

With love - Jean and John xxxx
