Shelly and Ron had managed to choose a day at the height of the heatwave for this year’s traditional summer barbecue. My leg had improved enough for me to
produce all these photographs without leaving my seat. Each participant is named in the gallery.
We enjoyed Ron’s usual splendid barbecue meats – lamb kebabs, beef burgers, hot dogs, and chicken pieces; Shelley’s wonderful salads; and tempting-looking desserts for which I had no room. Various beers, wines, and soft drinks were on offer. I had just one pint of beer, otherwise water – fizzy or tap.
Lovely photos. Hope it was not too freaking hot. Food looks yummy.
Thank you very much, Pat. We were mostly under an awning
Better than sun but with high heat and humidity, a breeze would also be helpful (I’m all for AC when the weather gets like that, but I’m a spoiled American.)
Some lovely human interest photographs there, Derrick!
Thanks very much, John
Looks yummy.
Gorgeous, natural portraits, particularly those with youngsters
Thanks very much, Sheree
Oh, it looks like a wonderful time. Flo is lovely in her pretty shirt and necklaces. I love her whole style. And those super close up shots are just fabulous – Tess in particular. Great job, photographer.
Thank you so much, Jodie
You’re welcome.
Oh, and what does the title mean?
Wot?
Actually I understand Jodie’s question. When the notification of your post showed up in my email received list, the title was “122027”. I could not make the number sequence into anything sensible. Only when I opened the email was the BBQ title displayed. Another WP foible it seems…
Thank you so much for that clarification, Maj.
Oh, thank you, Maj! I thought Derrick was being playful.
🙂 Even for me that would be far too cryptic
lol – I thought Mordred had paid a visit.
Even Mordred wouldn’t be that dreadful 🙂
Chuckling still.
🙂
Wonderful, warm family photos.
Thanks very much, Gary
I’m so glad you could attend and take such lovely photos! Those precious faces! Those sweet smiles! 🙂 So many great portraits, Derrick! 🙂
Wonderful conversations! Good memories made! Delicious food! 🙂
It’s so good to see Dillion and Flo together! 🙂 I’m so happy for them!
(((HUGS))) ❤️
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
It looks as though a great time was had by all as they say.
Yes. It was a good one, Tootlepedal. Thanks very much
From your wonderful photos, it looks like everyone is having a great time. Glad the leg is feeling better.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Wow, so many happy faces, Derrick! I’m glad that your leg is healing up. God bless your family! 👍🏻😎🙏🏻🇬🇧
Thank you very much, John
I just love family get togethers.
Flo continues to glow now that Dillon is with her.
I am still amazed at the striking resemblance to you, and could I also see some of your lovely mother in her face?
Actually, Sue, she is the image of her maternal grandmother. We have a drawing Jackie made whence was 15 which could easily have been Flo. Thanks very much
What a good-looking group of people! This looks like fun.
Thank you very much, Judy. You would have produced a good gallery
It just looked like I group of people I would have enjoyed being around…
Wonderful photos! It looks like a good time was had by all. (I’m glad your leg has improved some.)
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I’m glad your leg is feeling better, Derrick. The BBQ looks yummy!
Thanks very much, Jill
I’m glad your leg was well enough to enjoy the day and that the heat didn’t stop you!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
Glad you’re leg has improved. Wonderful gallery of photos.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Delightful gallery, Derrick. What a wonderful multi-generation gathering. Was Jackie in attendance? Didn’t see any photos of her smiling face…
Thanks very much for noticing, Maj. I did take a few, but they were not good enough 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE the candid capture of children interacting with adults and the beauty of smiles and smiling eyes. Excellent photos Derrick. Hope your leg is improving.
Thank you very much, Zakiah. I think the leg is improving
I am glad your leg is better and that you were able to go to the barbecue and take photos, Derrick. It looks like a wonderful gathering!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
A gallery of priceless portraits. The occasion has been captured vividly for ever.
Thank you so much, Uma. “for ever” hadn’t occurred to me, but now they are on the cloud……
Photographs for everyone to treasure!
Thank you very much, Anne
Great, natural photos, and a good time was had by all! Cheers.
Thank you very much, Joy
Lovely captures Derrick. You really are touching something precious below the surface 💕
Thank you so much, Val X
These are lovely! So glad your leg allowed you to be there. I’m wondering about British barbecue now. As a Texan, I’m not approving of Kansas City bbq or Memphis bbq. I’m a bbq snob. But somehow I know this was really good.
Thanks very much, Leslie
Precious photos of your family at the barbecue!
Thanks very much, Aletta
You know how to cover an event, Derrick. Great job.
Thanks very much, Rupali
Wonderful photos. It looks like a good time was had by all! 🙂
Thanks very much, Nikki. It was a good one
It looks like everyone had a great time, despite the heatwave. I am glad that you are feeling better, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Dolly
My pleasure, Derrick.
A congenial looking group but I must say Flo just lights up the crowd since Dillon has joined her. She is just beautiful!
We quite agree, AnneMarie. Thank you so much
How nice to go to a barbecue! It looks as if all were enjoying themselves.
Thank you very much, Eugi
It looks like such a wonderful gathering, and your photos captured it so well, I felt like I was almost there!
(All the more impressive that they were taken from your seat.)
Thank you so much, Merril
Happiness for everyone in the family.
You are an expert in photographs, Derrick
In fiendship
Michel
Thank you so much, friend Michel
Fabulous photos and a lovely day Derrick. Love to all the family, especially Jackie!
Thanks very much, Pat. I will pass it on
Love to you too Pat, Great to see you. X
What a beautiful day!
Thank you very much, Ribana
Yummy foods and wow, these photos capture so much, really wonderful.
I am one of the only folks in the world that wishes all the bbq’s were in early October
Thanks very much, Rose
Looks like a fun get together for all! Great shots Derrick!
Thank you very much, Dwight
You are welcome!
Lovely portrait photos Derrick.
Thank you very much, Lindsey
