Ah, that Birthday cake. Despite all reasonable efforts to round everyone up, it appears some people escaped the cake by sloping off to the pub. It was nice :wink:

Image

Image
Time to burn some charcoal. And some wood :lol: [-X

Venison grillsteaks and naan breads to go with a rather excellent lamb korma & rice provided by Trish (hatris) =P~

Now I’m not saying it was cold overnight....
