It was a beautiful day today and we decided, at the last minute, to take the little disposable barbecue (that we never got round to using last year) to the nearby beach of Seasalter and have our tea there. We took some thinly sliced chicken and beef, a pack of sausages, lots of french bread, Ketchup and mustard. G packed the Gin and Tonic, our only luxury item.The three children ate hot dogs and the strips of meat as it cooked. The bread was slathered with mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup and coleslaw and tasted surprisingly good - probably a result of the mood and place in the same way Ouzo tastes so wonderful drunk in Greece, but bloody awful on a grey damp day in England!
We drove home full and tired, promising ourselves we should do it more often. There is so much on our doorstep and we don't see it!
Wish we could have been there-missing you...
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, sounds like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have the sea nearby, so use it! We're lucky in that there are some very pretty local rivers to sit by, but there's nuffin' like that salty sea air to fill ya lungs!
