There are three letters synonomous with summer – (and let’s face it S U N it ain’t, well not for 07 anyway), - no, I’m referring to, of course, B B Q, the now great british tradition of alfresco cooking and eating, where men take over the culinary frontline and women take a back seat ( to prepare the salad, pour the drinks, lay the table etc etc., yeh, you’ve heard that joke!).
As I write this it’s 2pm the following afternoon, plates are washed, glasses packed away and the dog has finally given up her all night ( and I mean all night) vigil of circling the barbeque in the hope that she may still find one last forgotten morsel in the flower borders.
Food for Thought has run BBQ’s all through August and – well – it’s been great! Thankyou to everyone that opened up their home to friends, neighbours and friends of friends and all those children! It’s been a great opportunity to meet new faces, catch up with old friends and have fun together. We’ve had everything from glorious sunset dips in the pool to swift dashes through the rain from chef to house, sausages in one hand, brolly in the other.
By the time you read this September will be well underway and we’ll all be looking forward to getting Food for Thought back on the agenda. For those of you who don’t know what we’re about check out the blog. Our first meeting will be on 23rd September. As always , all are welcome and we mean all. Old, young, singles, families. We’re here to create a place where you can explore faith comfortably, no judgement, no pressure, …..a place to find some food for thought. See you there!
