I'm getting a little bored of the rain now. It's been really heavy today. I just hope it rains so much tonight it can't rain any more tomorrow. But then again we have a bank holiday weekend coming up here in the UK, and we all know that usually means rain! Although it never usually stops the Brits enjoying themselves.

This weekend we went to see friends who were on holiday at a campsite. The plan was to end the day with a barbecue but unfortunately by then it was pouring with rain. Well did that stop us? Of course not we cracked on and had a fantastic barbecue. Well I say 'we' but really it was the men that braved the rain. The women and children were rather more sensible and stayed in the caravan! Here is a photo of the fellas cooking meat in the rain!

As we are now entering barbecue season I thought I'd show you something a little different tonight and see what you thought of it. The barbecue count for our back garden so far this year is currently three (as in we've had three not we own three!) which isn't bad going considering it's still May. I hope we have many more over the next few months. Anyway, I was sitting in my garden with my camera, as you do, and decided to point it at the barbecue which had just been lit. I was pretty amazed by the result! I think this has captured the heat and the energy of the fire really well.
