Jenny has had a pretty amazing year this year with a new job, a new engagement (!) and a new house (!!) And with her birthday just having gone by a couple of weeks ago today she was having a celebration barbeque at her new home … which was a very lengthy journey on the tube (all the way to the end of the central line) and then a taxi at the other end! Not that I minded – she, after all, has to make quite an effort to come in central to do stuff with me.

She’d been blessed with some pretty damn fine weather and, if she’d had a pool, it would have been perfect conditions to don our cossies! We had to settle for walking barefoot in the grass and lounging around in her fairly sizable backyard. She’d gone to sooo much effort with the food. I love that about Jenny – she just gets so excited about her food. And they had sooooo much meat. Sean was on the barbie all afternoon and into the early evening grilling stuff for everyone. Not sure how many people turned up as it was a mixture of Jenny’s and Sean’s friends but it had to have at least been 45 people if I had to guess at a minimum?

A fun day.
