BBQ at The Neumann's

DSC_0260 DSC_0274 DSC_0284 DSC_0323 DSC_0316 DSC_0318 DSC_0347 DSC_0370 DSC_0376 Our friends, the Neumann's, have just moved round the corner from us into a spectacular new house and last night they held a housewarming BBQ. The weather, dramatically, turned beautiful and we built a trampoline for the children, which they absolutely loved.

Weekend

Friday night couldn't have started the weekend better; with a night in, an Acton Balti House Chicken Tikka Masala (food from the Gods)and several hours of BBC programming devoted to David Bowie. We went to ballet, as usual, on Saturday morning, after breakfast and after lunch, I had some painting time with Ruby. We went to Ruby's school for their Summer Fete in the afternoon. Ibolya bought some cool new trainers for Lucas and I built the car park we bought him for his birthday. On Sunday morning, as it was wet, we went to the indoor play centre at Latimer Road. After lunch, Ruby did her homework and helped Ibolya bake a cake to take to Sheira's housewarming BBQ on Sunday evening.

Breakfast

DSC_0069 DSC_0075 DSC_0076 DSC_0078 DSC_0084 DSC_0087 I love weekend breakfasts and love having time to cook and for us all take our time round the breakfast table, listening to the Nemone show on Radio 6, before we head out for Ruby's ballet class. This Saturday we ate Ibolya's colleague's home-made sausages, with fried eggs and Birdseye potato waffles, which are still waffly-versitile.
