I have a backlog of news. And all of it is very exciting........first of all BBQ news. We bought this bbq from Barbecues Galore. It's a great shop with a category killer range. Given the time of year - they were on sale, and we got a good deal. I even managed to negotiate extra discount - something I would never think of doing back home. I'm becoming Aussiefied. So here are the before and after pics ......didn't take too long to put together.

We haven't used it yet - need to buy a gas cylinder first. At the moment it just looks good on the balcony. Note how it co-ordinates beautifully with the garden furniture - also a great relocation buy! If what the Aussies tell us is true and the weather will eventually enable us to eat outside for 8 months of the year, then this is our dining table. Just needs some wine and some of Gus' cooking to complete the look!
