Lovely Lamb!

Phew! Another one of those manic Saturdays, where it’s all go-go-go!

We were both ‘up with the lark’ – Ann dropped me at the station for 8.30 so I could get to St Pancras International in time for chairing the twice-yearly OCA Committee meeting (we chose the Parcel Yard at Kings Cross again because of its location, the quality of service – and the food and drink – perfect!!!). Well, at least the venue was perfect – the meeting should have been quite UNeventful, but instead, the Treasurer announced his retirement and the proposed new Honorary Secretary (because of his day job) decided not to stand! With the meeting finishing just before 4pm, I jumped on the 4.30 and Ann picked me up at Kettering.

Then, it was a quick change before popping next door for the main event of the day – Paul and Karen’s BBQ featuring Karen’s melt-in-the-mouth lamb! Ann prepared a delicious dessert (chocolate cake with prune and brandy sauce – yummy!!!!). John, Trish, Tom, Julie, Chris and Isla were there and we had a great time – we even managed to sit outside in the warm for a bit. it was a perfect end to an eventful day.

As normal, by 11pm, I was flagging, and so we staggered the short distance back to ours and crashed-out.

Thanks for cooking Karen – lovely grub!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s!  My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!

I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
