Gingham cloths, candles, geraniums and thirty people. All these things, were the essential ingredients for the neighbourhood Italian night. Menu listed and log fires lit. 6:15 and it was time to party. Ten courses, not sure if I could go the distance but I gave it my best shot. Plates and cups piled and stacked ready for each course. John's shed more t
han capable of hosting all thirty of us. Despite the p
ersistent showers of heavy rain everything went to plan. Each couple was responsible for an aspect of the menu. Stephen and I spaghetti and meatballs but I rush past all the other courses prior to ours. Chris and Helen served the soup. Reg partakes of his beer. Trevor and Pete smiled for the camera while Anne and Gary awaited the next course. Later, much later. In fact ten courses later Helen and Pete took to the microphones. Chimea fire warmed the air as did the fine company and good food. Loved the way our community gathered. Good neighbours and good fun.
what a great night and well put miss Kerry in your blog ...I think it is special how a group can come together and combine to make a workable, interactive and overall pleasant evening without using too many muscles. Thanks for being part of it!
