Monday 22nd May 2017- BBQ tonight

When we first arrived on site the male manager came and helped us put up the awning as Noel’s strength is not fully back yet from all the operations and all the other things they did to him and so Anthony came and helped us for about 1.6 hours. We did not want to pay him so invited him and his co-manager (his girlfriend) over for a BBQ tonight as the weather forecast was looking good.
So in the morning we shopped in the Leclerc supermarket in Lisieaux  for some bits and pieces and then returned back to the site.
We spent a pleasant afternoon relaxing and then about 5.30 pm preparing the BBQ and we had organised the following menu.
Starters:- Crisps and smoked salmon on crispbread
Mains:- Chicken thighs and Scottish rib eye steaks
Desert:- Strawberry pie and a choice of cheese.
Both Anthony and Hazir are well travelled ands have worked for Club Mediterranean and have visited a lot of places in South America where we have also visited on our Latin American trip some years ago. So we had an enjoyable evening and they left about 10 pm after Anthony polishing off most of the steak which clearly he enjoyed.
Just started typing this when read about the atrocious bombing at the Manchester Arena, absolutely disgraceful and cant thinks what families must be going through right now. ISIS seems to be claiming this bombing attack …
Our hearts go out to those affected.
