What a Great Weekend

What a great weekend! It started off with a dash back from work to make sure I was home in time for Tim & Debs Yau to arrive for our first BBQ of the year… and what a BBQ! Having a Rayburn in the kitchen is great in the winter where it keeps the house warm and cooks some great meals, its just not practical in the warmer months and we leave it off for most of the day and only turn it on when we need to cook… waiting over an hour for it to warm up to a sensible temperature. Because of this, Ang and I thought we’d invest in a sooper dooper gas BBQ which would allow us to cook outside during the warm summery months and we thought that it was only right to try it out on friends Tim & Debs!!

We had a lovely evening with the Yau’s, eating yummy sweetcorn, beef kebabs, salmon kebabs, grilled vegetables and some lovely grilled pineapple with ice cream!

Saturday started off with a trip to Chesterton Rec for a game of football with the guys from church before heading back to Linton for a lazy afternoon in the sun. Again, we had some sweetcorn on the BBQ before we decided to go on a walk up to Linton water tower where we were given fantastic views of the countryside – fields of gold everywhere! Finishing off the day we did some boring chores – shopping at Sainsburys, washing the car and then chilling out to a number of reality TV programs and cooking chicken on the BBQ!

The day finished on a slight downer when one of our cats, Toby didn’t come home… where could he be?

Sunday was a good day too. We woke up and Toby was still nowhere to be seen so we did a short walk around the neighbourhood to see if we could hear him trapped in a garage… No. We then headed to church where Ang and I were leading Youth Church all about what it means to be a witness. The service went well and we had time to catch up with friends afterwards.

For lunch we invited friends Helen, Graeme, John and Jane for… you guessed it… another BBQ! We cooked sweetcorn, Japanese beef, burgers, sausages, grilled veggies and finished it off with grilled pineapple with icecream… we were getting the hang of BBQing! It was a great afternoon of chilling out with friends.

The day finished with a trip to church to do some training with one of the youth on the PA desk, before heading back home to see TOBY!! He had finally come home – who knows where he has been, but at least he is back safely now!
