More randomness coming up.
We all love a BBQ/Braai..... don’t we?
Last weekend I had a Friend from South Africa who now lives and works in the U.K. (he was born here) down for Saturday and Sunday, with some meat cooking thrown inbetween.
Known James a few years, he and his wife Gail, gave my brother Deon and I place to stay, in fact let us use their home as a base when we did a long distance motorbike tour around South Africa a few years ago for my 50’th birthday.

Anyway, he is not a vegetarian, so Saturday morning I went to my Turkish butchers, they still touch the meat.......
Had some thick T-Bone steaks cut....
And some lamb chops.
So when James came, we had a cuppa tea, chat and catch up.
Then went shopping for salads and other stuff, followed by a trip to Rochester high street for touristy action and some fresh chips but no fish.
The home of Dickens’ England.
Back home, brandy, beer, wine etc, plus a fire topped with some coal from Germany, thanks to the Germans.
Steaks on early
James helping, cutting the edges to prevent furling or curling.
He felt the heat of a real fire, none of this gas BBQ nonsense.....
All ready, including spicy lamb kofte kebabs shaped like sausage
And on the plate.
Amazing how great food tastes when you have good friends and company about.
Eventually after much more drink and talk we went to sleep, and had a lazy Sunday morning, heading to James’ first Bootfair
He took this lovely contrasting pic from his bedroom, looking over the trees.
Back in a bit.
