1st of the Summer BBQ’s

Last Friday Nadia and I decided to throw a little BBQ on our roof terrace. Since it was a long weekend thanks to the Queen’s Birthday, we decided to give our BBQ a bit of a British flare.

Nadia being the more artistic one started looking at home to make the decorations and other party favours. After a few days some of the decorations started to take shape, such as the crowns for everyone and also a poster with everyone’s face on it but on the head of the Queen (this also included the men and also a dog). She also had the Union Jack flying everywhere (including the cups and plates). Some fairy lights really contributed to a very cosy atmosphere.

On the day of the BBQ the heat on the terrace was unbearable so we did not start setting it up until late in the afternoon, about 1 hour before our guests started arriving. The evening started rather slowly as some of our guests arrived a bit late but I was not worried about it because as soon as everyone was there things really picked up.

I, of course, was cooking the food on a makeshift BBQ as I thought if we had the Morrisons disposable BBQ it would be easier towards the end of the night to clean up later. We didn’t have a spare table so we popped the BBQs on a spare clothes dryer rack – it was quite the sight! It is true what they say that “time flies when you are having fun” and that night was no exception - no one realised how late it was, it was 2:30 am when we looked at our watches and it dawned on most people how late it was.

I had a great time that night up on our roof and I hope this is the 1^st of many more to come.
