A barbecue at home

A family I know well came down to stay for two days.

Family is the right word as I have good relationships with three generations. They stayed at a hotel nearby.

I decided to make a barbecue.

It was quite an undertaking as, although the food was delivered by Cote, it still had to be cooked, served and cleared up.

My godson took over at the BBQ, his father chose and decanted the wine, mother and daughter cleared.

It was much appreciated as there is nothing worse than the morning after to awake to 20 dirty plates and dishes.

Instead at 9-15pm, when we repaired to their hotel for a night cap, the kitchen was sparky clean and the patio totally cleared.

On a balmy evening it was time to savour nearly 50 years of  friendship.

Wonderful!
