David's early birthday present and "the first of the summer wine"...

Above is Dave's new toy - a massive BBQ. We got it at a bargain price in the end of summer clearout at the local garden centre! He loves it. I think it makes him feel more manly cooking big chunks of meat on flames outdoors or something. We had great fun getting it home from the store as it was a display model too so was already built up - thank goodness for the Subaru! The bottom photo is the first bottle of chataux Hartnett 2007 elderflower reserve - it was surprisingly good for a first attempt!
