| Hill farm, in the midst of rain, you may spy a rainbow |
The weather has TURNED, strong winds and rain but don't moan we need it, and I expect parts of the country are still dry. The barbecue went well, people turned up with big bowls of beautiful salads, and Harriet outdid herself on the cheesecakes and chocolate cake. The 6 barbecues were put in an open part of the barn, which was unfortunately truly draughty from the great open wooden slats that surrounded the great barn door.
The meat was extremely tender, though I didn't taste any but we brought some home for Lucy. It was marvellous how everything fell into place, Lyn handled the food, the raffle tickets were called, large amount of booze raffle prizes, and Rosina, the farmer's wife, kept everything moving along. We had bought our own plates and cutlery, so it was just a question of taking everything home. I had done a large bowl of mayonnaise potatoes with halved bantam eggs on top, which always seems to go well.
It sounds like you had an enjoyable evening Thelma. Not enough people in our valley to have such a get-together, but we could manage one long table's worth!
ReplyDeleteWe are now revelling in the rain and I imagine in a week's time, my garden will be wall to wall WEEDS!
It was a good event, there was even children there, the three Gospel girls and and a couple of tots, in fact I will put a photo of one dancing in her sparkling shoes,
DeleteLooks a smashing event Thelma - you must live in quite a large village judging from the number of people there. Like the idea of mayo potatoes topped with eggs - shall try it when I have a family get together at the start of September.
ReplyDeleteIt is not very large Pat, some didn't come but brought tickets, but a few of the people who attended were from the large farming family of Bells. Mayo potatoes always go down well, sprinkled with chives ;)
