The spirit of the day started well: we headed to Highbury Fields with the BBQ and all our gear, and began to setup. But then the wind blew… hard, and the sky looked like a pile of wet towels and sporadically sprinkled water on us. We did the “British” thing and kept saying “it will get better”, but ultimately we gathered everything up and headed back to my place to use my back yard as Plan B.
Indeed summer is ending in London, and 25 people turned out for the BBQ to say goodbye. We had a great time; lots of food and drink and chats and best of all the smell of a BBQ. The sun broke out and the garden walls kept out the wind out.
And although summer is retiring, and the days will be shorter and the nights longer, we still have lots of ideas for some more AYMP events in the fall. And cooking up ideas long after the coals are expended… well that’s the best kind of leftovers!
