Sunday BBQ

On Sunday afternoon we had our very special friends Stephen, Christophe, Pete, Karen and Mark round for a BBQ.
I'd lost the key to the doors which lead onto the garden which meant we couldn't hear any music so made do with sounds provided by the local area; strange, intermittent drumming, the ominous tolling of the church bells and an ice cream van playing the 'Harry Lime Theme' from the 'Third Man'.
The weather held off and we had the kind of wonderful, summer Sunday afternoons I absolutely love; time on our hands, people we love, good food and booze.
The food went down well and everybody really liked Georgi. She was on particularly adorable form. We consumed plentiful amounts of beer and wine and I think we were all quite sozzled by the end.
The highlight of the afternoon was Karen's magnificent chocolate fudge cakes and ginger cake with creme fraiche. Absolutely yummy - thank you Karen!
This was the rest of the food; Ibs' squash and flagelotte bean salad
Cous-cous
BBQ sausages, drumsticks and burgers
Followed by afternoon coffee and tea with Karen's cakes
After everyone left, Ibs and I took Georgi for a walk in Roundwood.
