Ce soir we are barbecuing ...I am gonna regret saying this but I am not a fan. I have a perfectly good kitchen metres away ...and it just makes more work transporting it all out and ferrying the washing up back in. Am I wrong Twitter ....

BBQ news - waiting for that heating up thing to happen, sun has gone in, wind has changed direction, I have shut the windows but house still full of smoke, it is officially impossible for earth implements to cut a corn cob in half. I smell already & feel like I need to shower.

Now the ferrying of sauces, sides and condiments has commenced ...A long haul
