Alfresco Dining

With travel looking unlikely this summer, why not bring it home! The luxury feel of relaxing outside, eating drinking, listening to the sounds of nature and the smell of...hopefully BBQ!

We are enjoying lots more outdoor time, and eating meals in the garden, this week was quinoa salad, and we had our first bbq of summer yesterday! Halloumi, courgette and red pepper skewers, they were scrummy!
