Summer Days

I know most of my readers are chilling it out in the middle of winter but I couldn't resist posting on a recent bbq we had with family and friends. This also tied in as a low key intro to my actual celebration. When you get to my age you might as well milk the occasion.

We had chicken, bacon, venison sausages, home-made meat patties, boerewors [farmer's sausage in Afrikaans] and fresh garden salad.

Have included a photo that didn't make my last post of my birthday.

 
 
 
Thank you once again Lea for the wonderful photos! That lovely camera of yours is sure getting a workout!

      Was great to have my brother, Kate and a few friends to celebrate with. Sadly most of my family are in the South Island which has an expensive stretch of water between us.

    Birthdays should be milked for as long as possible!
    Glad it was a happy time for all.

      My birthday seems a distant memory now so back to reality of a somewhat broken body. Niggles of middle age I suppose.

      It's raining today but at least it's warm. The photos were taken on Lea's new camera. She's having a lot of fun with it!

    Your fun celebrations of summer remind me that winter can't last forever. Thank you!

    It's very cold and chilly in my neck of the woods, but I'm outside my neck of the woods right now and in an area that would be just perfect for such a gathering! I should have brought along a grill! Keep enjoying that wonderful weather you have there!
