Farm Party

Hi!
Just going to backtrack a little to share the rest of the farm party story and attack you with an inappropriate number of fireworks photos!

I made a pavlova to take along… been a while since I made a pav. mmmmm

Happily, while the night was certainly cold and crisp – there was no rain, so that made for a great night!
And check out the food table!! I didn’t even notice at first but Paul went and set up two of the big slabs from our macrocarpa trees to act as the party table!!
So cool! I was pretty thrilled !

Friends brought around a heap of haybales so people had places to sit around the fire, others brought along food for the table

Paul and Sharon had cooked up quite a storm during the day… it was hard to know where to begin!

Pots of warm curries, slow cooked lamb etc

Neighbours brought along the chestnuts (from their farm!)

Breads…

Soon the table was groaning under the weight of all that was on offer and everyone happily dug in – I got Sharon to serve me one of her big baked potatoes and topped my plate with salads and meat (to start with)

I am getting hungry again just looking at this!

Was cosy sitting around the fire eating and chatting to friends before heading back to raid the table again!

And then came the fireworks!
Sit back and enjoy the scroll!

I hadn’t done night photos for such a long time, so it took a while to get the hang of finding the right settings!

Occasionally Paul would dash back up and put a small firework on the garden table

I love the delicate lines of these ones…

And this one makes me think of a squid

All a lot of fun

The chestnuts were roasted and the desserts brought out!

All very blissful for a nearly winters night!
Sharon and Paul did a magnificent job of putting such a great night on – Very much enjoyed by all!
Cheers!
