It was Expert Forester’s birthday this week, so we had a barbecue. Unusually, this was not a cue for the weather to turn. It was great till the midges came to partake of the feast, which was us. We had burgers, Pimms, sausages, Pimms, corn cobs, Pimms, salad, Pimms, chicken and Pimms. I had used frozen fruit in the Pimms so we spooned the fruit up, and called it dessert. “One of your 5 a day and you get quietly inebriated, what’s not to like?” said GS. We all agreed that Pimms made that way is excellent for summer.
