barbecue’s, don’t you just love ’em? any excuse in our house. absolutely any excuse. doesn’t have to be a good one either! so when we are presented with a weekend where the weather is going to be floating around and abouts 30 degrees, a good friend is up from bristol for a sleepover and the weekend is finished with the bubbles popping over to say hello. a barbecue would be top of the list. so how timely that an email pops into my inbox, with talk of a competition. a barbecue competition. oh yes please, that’s right up the HPMcQs alley. as i said we love a barbecue in this house, we do. so here it is money supermarkets charcoal challenge, the ultimate barbecue for 50 quid. easy peasy lemon squeezy. here we go.
she is gone
you can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived
you can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she has left

bloom boom
yay the hydrangea’s have started to bloom and they are a wonderful mix of blue, violet, lime and pink all on one plant, even on just one bloom. how does that happen? that’s so much more than we bargained for. also the star-gazer lilies have made their first show and are they glorious. the palest of orange with spatterings of deepest purple. we at casa HPMcQ are very happy with our booming blooming garden right about now.
