Barbecue with friends
We had some friends staying in the gite as so we invited them round for a barbecue.
We asked them if… “they’d like something to nibble – apricots, soaked in honey – quite why, no one knows – because it stops them tasting of apricots, and makes them taste like honey, and if you wanted honey, you’d just buy honey, instead of apricots, but nevertheless – there we go – yours if you want them.”
Strangely enough, even though both Mac and Lyn thought the apricot and honey business was the real lowpoint of the conversation (and it must really be hard trying to have a conversation with someone who believes that Richard Curtis is the Johnny Hallyday of Scriptwriting), they agreed!
Mad or brave? To find out, read on….

Mac and Lyn run www.wireworld.co.uk which, in my humble opinion, is absolutely no excuse for all that Public Display of Affection stuff shown above!

| Mac and Lyn wisely took over cooking duties! | Once, I was a Salmon… Just look at me now! |
 |
 |
| And this…….
Is a fork! |
“I’m sure it’s all right. My friend Max is cooking and he’s acknowledged to be the worst cook in the world, but you know, you could hide the food in your handbag or something.” |

For a man who knows all about networked computer games, Mac is surprisingly knowledgeable about cooking!

 |
| For some strange reason…. | Although we started cooking at one end of the garden…. |
 |
 |
| It was generally considered that it would taste better at the other end. | So we moved everything; hot barbecue and all! |

Mac and Lyn worked very well as a catering team! We’ll have to invite them again!

| Prawnies! I lurve prawnies! | Lyn – with that… “I may just have had a little glass of wine” look on her face! |

 |
| Mac, unsurprisingly also has a… “I may just have had a little glass of wine” look on his face! | The obligatory picture of a sunset over a Breton valley – no barbecue blog post is complete without one! |

Apricots soaked in honey… love that bit!
I am Richard Curtiss’s No1 fan! I want a sexy cardie! I suffer from that horribel (and totally incurable) ailment of endlessly quoting from movie scripts!
No hope for me, then!
Did hubby survive your cheeseburgers last night?

A touching peck on the lips…well done, you lovers. A touching peck in Welsh is known as a ‘sws’ so may you sws your way to glory forevermore (and keep up the good work on the website(s) ). G. X(sws)
I’ve just noticed…Mac’s given the game away in the 1st photo. It’s the alien look that could earn him a fortune as an extra…nay, a superstar…in the next ‘Trekkie’ extravaganza. (May the 4th be with you!!). G.
Graham – you could be right! I thought there was something strange about Mac but I couldn’t put my hand on it!
OK – will keep doing so until sore lips force us to stop!
