We got home from the party ready to collapse in front of a film but we went in the garden and next door asked us round for a BBQ. Having refused the last 4 invitations as we were off to mum’s for a BBQ we accepted. 2 BBQs in one day – no problem!
So I hurriedly made some burgers and found a bottle of wine in the fridge. We polished off the first bottle of wine before they started cooking! So I fetched another. Time passed really quickly as we heard stories from our neighbours and her sister and sister’s husband about when they lived in Zimbabwe of being chased by Elephants, standing on crocodiles and being scared of hippos. We had some traditional Zimbabwean food of maize meal and pork and of course my burgers! Followed by strawberries and cream with mini meringues. At half 11 we stumbled into bed having eaten and drunk far too much.
We were surprised as to how nice a time we had, not really having spoken to our neighbours for long before other than a how-do, the weathers been awful sort of exchange over the fence. So we’ll definitely be accepting more invitations and handing out some of our own I expect.
