BBQ

Hill Walking Club Members

What a great time. Sharp contrast to the negative experience of being bummed out at the Barton Bunker. We joined 20 members of our hill walking club for their annual BBQ. Never mind the misuse of the term "BBQ;" it was really a picnic. We gathered in one of the numerous private parks in Edinburgh; a club member lives in a neighborhood that has access. In Edinburgh, there are many many public parks (more than any city in the UK); there are also many private parks.

 We brought our food; the club provided the tables, chairs, and grill. Oh yea, they also provided a seemingly endless number of bottles of wine and champagne. Nice touch for a BBQ. By now, we know and are friends with most everyone. How nice. Interestingly, a small group at the event sat together and laughed boisterously throughout the evening; Beth was either an instigator or participant. Good for her. By the way, the attached photo was taken at ten-clock at night; still plenty of daylight at this northern latitude at that hour.
