Today Nate and Caro held the first BBQ for 2008. The rain managed to hold off long enough for us to have a late lunch outside in their lovely little garden. Nate and Caro are great hosts and Caro, particularly, always makes sure to have the right supplies on hand to ensure everyone has a nice time.

Nothing can beat a sausage or steak cooked on the barbie. I guess there is just something to that smoke-fed cooking that just can’t be replicated on a grill inside the house.

I ended up staying at their house until nearly late evening. One of the other guests had kindly brough a giant box of Roses chocolates. Hilariously when everyone had left except for Nate, Caro and Nate’s sister Jules and I we dug into the chocolates like there was no tomorrow. To say that I was feeling slightly ill from pigging out on them would be an understatement!
