For avoidance of doubt the Barbecue is at my home on this Saturday 21st August - starting 3pm, going on as long as there are people still able to party. ;) ;D A few beds available too for anyone who wants to stay/can't drive home.(one double room, one twin room, two settees, and a recliner ;) )
All welcome but be warned you will be offered a membership form!
Lots of good food is coming, but all contributions welcome! Loaves and fishes style ;)
Competition is Show what you grow, I am the Judge and I am NOT open to bribery ;D ;D ;D

I've sent directions from Dollar area, if anyone else wants them let me know. Sandy is just up the road but not quite in the same area for coming by road.

So far we have salads, sausages, quiches, beefburgers & buns, pate and breadsticks, crisps, garlic bread; and also chocolate mousse, fruit salad, cakes (from Katrina), I've got Ice cream in the freezer and will buy more as well as a couple of frozen desserts.
I'll rustle up a fruit punch and maybe also an alcoholic one, need to get some beer in as well. Parking in back yard. Must remember to tell the neighbours ;D

How can anyone not be tempted to come to your barbecue, with a spread like that?!!!

We won't make it :'(, Annie :'( :'(
Have a great time today!! :&>

Hope you all have a great day and the weather is better in Clackmannan than it is here. :wave:

We had a lovely day - talk about loaves and fishes - I have enough food left over to feed me for weeks, and as for wine - my cellars are replenished. Good crack among like minded souls. Weather was very wet this morning but it cleared up, the sun came out and dried everything up, and stayed out till after 6, then we have a down pour and moved inside. All gone home, kitchen tidied, recycling done and dishwasher on with a full load.
Thank you everyone for coming along - I LOVE parties - when's the next one! I had five in my last home in 2 years, so have a reputation to uphold!
-
Brill, we enjoyed the day and I wanted to talk to so many more people, Steve noticed I was VERY naughty eating a bit of chocie cake and I had about 6 pringles! (he did not see that!!) but otherwise stayed on track and that was hard especialy due to the scrummmy food.......and all those nice car's, glad we walked!!! Oh and a little bit too much wine for me, I went off to bed when I got home and had a wonderful sleep ;)
