THE BBQ BLUES: NAUTICAL INSPIRATION FOR SUMMER

July 26, 2016May 25, 2021

BBQ Inspiration! It’s Birthday BBQ time for Hero, our favourite summertime event! In honour of his party, here are a few of our favourite pieces for me and the mister, and for the big day itself!

So when I read the message from Twinderelmo at 8am yesterday, reading “Huge congrats”, I assumed she was just being as lovely as usual and congratulating me on my Slimming World progress. I wrote back that I was so shocked as I expected…
