Friday food al fresco and fire pit fun

 


Got my alliteration quota completed in the title which is always satisfying. After a full week which kept us on our toes throughout, we finished with a Friday afternoon and evening in the back garden. I have kept the camping cooker despite having the motorhome simply to encourage us outside during the colder months and it did the trick. It was cooler than it has been and there was a brisk breeze but we got the spices out and rice and different bits and pieces to put together a lovely outdoor evening meal.

It was nice to then light the fire pit and to spend a few hours as darkness fell and the stars began to appear enjoying the early autumn outside where Joseph played football and went on the rope swing while Maria got on with homework. When the others went inside Joseph and I did a spot of stargazing and enjoyed watching the aeroplanes overhead and a sight of a satellite speeding high above, a bright unblinking light travelling fast across the sky.

We must do more of this, especially if we are going to be more confined again.

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
