First Barbecue

First Barbecue

Only eight years after buying our barbecue it has had its first run out.  Two days of great sunshine made us think of giving it a go.  So we got in chicken wings, burgers, kebabs and hot dogs ready for the initiation.  Up early and look out it’s clouded over and not looking good but by the afternoon the sun comes out and we’re ready to go.  Tracey, Chloe, Corinne and I are out and ready for food I get the Barbecue fired up and put the food on the grill.  The girls and Tracey are drinking juice I’ve got Stella the foods cooking and Whitesnake Best Ballads album is playing.  The hot dogs are cooked ok burgers done ok chicken wings not so good a bit burnt too close to the flame but I’ll know better next time.  All’n’ all a good first attempt at the barbecue.
