BBQ @ Castle de Coombs

I've got tons of backdated posts to update, this is one of them. This took place last month when we decided to have a barbecue session at Chris' place in Loughborough. It wasn't the best day for a barbecue (the weather forecast said possible rain) but that was the only time we could make it for everyone. So, early in the morning, Nush, Shuv and I took the train to Loughborough.

Deciphering the crossword puzzle on the way

The typical England countryside view

Mariyam and Chris picked us up from the train station and we went shopping for food at Tesco's. It was a big Tesco, unlike the Tesco Metro in Nottingham. We then headed to Chris' home, which is near where I will be staying for the next 3 months.

See the white board leaning on the wall? The Wii and Guitar Hero!!! That's the real reason why we were there. (only joking Chris, we came for food you!)

Looks like good weather to me

The charcoal packet: I think it's a brilliant idea to burn the package with the charcoal. I remember the last time I had barbecue with the guys from ATC. It took ages just to get the fire going. This makes things so much easier.

Easy peasy

Small pieces of burning charcoal will fall under the tray once the paper bag turns into ashes

England residential area: look ma, no fences!

Barbecuing is hardwork

Digwig!! Amazing~

We helped preparing the food and messing up the kitchen (hehe)

Mariyam from Leicester (an update on my visit to Leicester coming soon!)

Nush from Mauritius

chicken, vege and corn

We had lamb too but we cheated because we decided to use the grill instead :p Hey, the food was great okay~ After food, we had some great Guitar Hero and Wii sessions. Woots!


The engaged couple: Estelle and Chris. They were good at the game!


Shuv looked so pro wei~

We each had our turns

Picture of the day: awwww... Digwig!!!!! xxx
