Family BBQ in the sunshine!

My son moved into a new house following a change of job a few months ago.  Due to his busy schedule and mine this weekend was the first time we could visit his new house.  My 7 year old granddaughter thought a BBQ would be a good idea.

The morning didn't start out that bright however by the time we arrived the clouds were slowly moving away and the BBQ coals were lit.
Ed had worked in the pub industry for many, many years which took away his weekends, summer being over before he realised it.  Now following a change of job he has a more normal life with weekends with his family.
It is really lovely to see my son having a normal weekend Sunday sitting in his own garden in the sunshine.
On of the people getting loads out of having a normal home with a private garden is my 7 year old granddaughter.  She had lived in a pub since birth only enjoying some garden time when she visited me or her other grandparents.
Father and daughter enjoying some sunshine. This used to be a rare treat however nowadays is common place.
Beefburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and pasta salad kept everyone full along with endless pitchers of Pimms!
Nanny's best girl does love a hot dog and she discovered apple juice and lemonade which has become her favourite 'mocktail'.  We even managed to find the ice cream man before he drove off for a quick ice cream!

Our food was served on a selection of disposable plates and cups looking absolutely perfect in the summer sunshine.
