Ramblers Summer BBQ 16 Aug 2008
If you've
 been
following our walk reports this year, you'll know we have not had the
best of weather. But despite a crap forecast of rain, rain, rain, for
the BBQ, it didn't happen. It was bloody perishing though as you can see
from the photos. I counted 16 fleeces, one duvet jacket and an
assortment of anoraks. Oh, and someone (Frank) had had his head carpeted
in shag pile for the day (see photo) |
  As you
might expect, there was a lot of chatter about the Olympics and Bob &
Cynthia came up with the new sport of synchronised smoking. But
as you'll see from the photo, Bob needs to improve his timing if
they are to qualify for London 2012. I've emailed Lord
Coe about having it included and am awaiting a reply.

 There
was further entertainment from Alan Roberts, who gave a frightening
realistic impersonation of a Thames Dredger. |
|
An y
way we all had a great time; there was good turnout with live music from
Bob The Blues Broth er,
followed by a DJ session from John who played a mix of old
favourites. When I showed the photos to someone, who will
have to remain nameless, they said the one of John reminded them of Geppetto. Yep I know, like me, you're thinking who in blazes
is Geppetto. Well, evidently he was/is Pinocchio's dad
in the Walt Disney film
|
As darkness arrived, it got colder so we stoked up Bob's fire
pit with any old wood we could find until we had a
warming blaze going. But for us to stay warm, the fire was really eating
the wood pile, so foraging parties were
 sent
out to find wood. We apologise to residents in the Parklands
if they are short the odd fence panel, but needs must.
Many thanks go to Bev & Keith for hosting the
event. |
