Red Squirrel 24th August - Beef Stew

[mountainmummy]

Hi

Big thanks to Gordon for meeting me this evening so I could pass on the wine for the stew. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get home first to pick up the seasonings sorry.

We have some largish logs to bring and I can bring bay leaves for anyone who would like some as we've been pruning our bay tree.

Can't wait to see everyone.

Thanks again to everyone who chipped in with stuff to make the beef stew, and to all who were polite enough to eat it and say nice things about it. Sorry the bread was a bit soggy.

"Over and out." *bleep*

Gordon (2) calling Thomas, come in! Great fun.

What a weekend, terrific company, food fantastic, Elaines bean starter having good effect.

Memo to self: Take more whisky next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, big thank you to Matt for all his efforts, he really worked hard.
And to everybody else for the generosity, the diet took quite a hammering.

We had a lovely lazy run back via Kilmartin.

Here's some pics, if anybody wants full size, pm me.

Bummer! Looks like I've missed another great week end. Well my pal will be on his way home on Wednesday with his wife and youngest daughter so here is to the next meet. Just don't leave it until the middle of next summer as June and I have been invited to spend a holiday with them in Amman which should be nice and refreshing, the city being up in the hills between 700m and 1100m above sea level.

PS: just pick a location on Red Squirrel where my posh new wheels will not get bogged down again as it may take more than Matt's Bongo to get me back on firm ground again.

Fab trip - still washing camp fire smoke smell out of my hair.

The stew was yummy!
