Valentines' Day

We had plans for Valentines' Day, but then we woke up to find a beautifully sunny day and completely changed our plans! We had a BBQ on both Saturday and Sunday -- and on Sunday we went shopping at the markets first. These photos were taken on the Sunday.

For lunch we had barbecued duck breast, roast potatoes with garlic and parsley and a garden salad.

Table for two in the sun.

Charlie ate with us. We treated him to a prawn, a little tiny piece of paté with foie gras and some raw duck.

He loved it and ate every last bit!

For dessert we had barbecued pineapple and vanilla icecream. Yummy!
