This afternoon we visited Danni and Andy for a housewarming barbecue. First we were given the guided tour of their lovely Victorian semi-detached house.
I couldn’t resist photographing their distant neighbours’ washing.
The contemporaries of my niece and her husband, some with their children, and older relatives like us, all enjoyed the produce of Andy’s barbecue, and salads made by Elizabeth and Helen.
I will mostly let the randomly placed photographs convey the joyful atmosphere.
Danni decided that I should be photographed, and chose to capture me demonstrating how to eat a sausage.
Needless to say, we needed no further sustenance on our return home.
Great pictures, wrong subject. Now I am hungry, dangit.
Sorry about that 🙂 Many thanks, Bridget
It looks like a wonderful day, Derrick–and you certainly do seem to be enjoying that sausage. 🙂
It was, and I did, Merril. Thank you very much.
I’ve never seen sausage eating being so hazardous but I must say that it was perfectly grilled.
🙂 It was, rather, Mary. Thanks very much
I thought your sausage eating was banger on. It was a consolation to know that the neighbours were missing a sock.
🙂 Brilliant as ever, Bruce. There’s never a snag for you
I see what you did there! 😀
Excellent technique, Derrick.
Many thanks, Oglach. I’m pleased you appreciate it 🙂
Moments of merriment with that sausage stealing the show! Heart-warming shots!
Very many thanks, Sofia
I can see I need to up my sausage eating style!
Send us the pics when you have mastered it 🙂 Thanks a lot, Pauline
You’re a pro, Derrick! What great captures of so many smiling faces.
So many thanks, Jill
Great photo Derrick – thank you for the demonstration! 🙂
Thank you Terry. I like to pass on my skills 🙂
They look like good sausages, and most people seem to have mastered the art of eating them in a safe manner. I will make no further comment. 🙂
🙂 Thank you so much, Quercus
🙂
Love these pix of you, Derrick! And it looks like everyone had a wonderful time!
Very many thanks, Luanne
You make a great model for advertising a perfectly barbecued sausage. The baby is also very cute. ?
Many thanks, Sylvia
What a great party and with nice sausages to add to the good feeling.
Thanks a lot, Lisa
All these years of chomping on a snag, without realizing I didn’t know how to handle it properly!.
I don’t know how I can face another sausage again!
Good to see that your head chef had a day off, she must feel quite strange not having to stand and slave away over sweltering stove producing gourmet dishes.
We are both chortling here , Brian. Thanks a lot.
Looks like a wonderful get together ?I also love hanging clothes on the line it’s just reminds me of simpler times and nothing can match that scent ?
What a great memory of a great day. Now I’m hungry.
Thanks very much, Peggy
So many happy faces.
Welcome home you’ve been sadly missed,
How’s the arm??
At least I have another one to fall back on. Oops, unfortunate wording there, I don’t really want to fall on it. ?
Many thanks, Yvonne. I see from Brian’s comment that your arm was the problem. I’d like to know how it is, too.
I was feeling very sorry for myself until I met a friend who has Parkinson’s disease. That put my temporary problem into perspective. Thank goodness the doctors didn’t prescribe l…r. ?
What a lovely gathering ?
It was, Geetha. Thank you very much
Welcome ?
I’m confused by the knife remaining in the sausage — counterbalance?
Good thought, Keith 🙂 Thank you
Some great family pics Derrick. Your pics made me laugh … and hungry. ?
Thanks very much, Miriam
Always great to see the way a distinguished Gentleman eats a sausage Derrick.
Good to see a fine family gathering in the spirit of the traditional barby.
Excellent comment, Ian. Thanks very much
Seemed like such a nice time, great friendly group. Those sausages looked delicious – BBQ are the best ~
Many thanks, Mary. It was lovely.
Ah this makes me smile. 🙂 Thanks for sharing Derrick.
Many thanks, Julie 🙂
Now you have to start a food blog – how to eat a sausage and other stuff. 😀
🙂 Many thanks, Joseph
Looks like a lovely gathering, and a good time had by all!
It was. Thank you, Lavinia
If I’d only seen this yesterday! My technique needs work.
Thanks a lot, Robert 🙂
My favorite is the ‘Lil Weiners. They’re scrumptious fried with anything. Funny pic!
Thank you. in567
Great post Derrick. Loved the pictures and you were right, the pictures described the atmosphere of the event rather well. Looks like it was a fun day for all. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for viewing my post on Oxymorons.
Thanks very much, Irwin
Wonderful party! I felt as though I was there – except I didn’t get any food.
Good times … good sausages ?
Thanks very much, Val
