Cousins' birthday

Friday was the birthday of Louka's twin cousins Lindsay and Max, so today we celebrated with a barbecue at Trishy and John's. Barbecues at Trishy and John's are a family tradition for all birthdays. Their barbecue is a rustic affair of a heavy metal plate balanced on some bush rocks: it hasn't changed since I was a kid and it gives sausages the real barbecued flavour and texture.

The twins loved their presents and were keen to get home and do some gardening. I hope the plants grow for them.



Louka got to sit on Trishy's shoulders and pull Trishy's hair. Then she had a go on my shoulders.
