The first time it was warm enough to dine out at Chez Nous Mr C seized the opportunity for his first barbeque of the year. I took the photo before some chicken pieces were added.

After dining we lingered a while, the warmth of the burning embers taking the chill of the evening air.

And much later the bats graced us with their presence

We spent our day with long overdue gardening tasks followed taking the pruned clippings to the recycling centre.

As evening approached the weather was perfect to test out our new Kadai Bowl for en evening dinner. It didn’t disappoint and we were amazed that the coals were still burning after four hours. By this time we had moved the fire bowl onto a low stand and placed it on the patio next to us so we could feel warm and cosy in the remaining heat.

I am planning a rearrangement of my patio area to accommodate the new experience. In addition to that I need to find a perfect solution to enable covered ‘Fine Dining’ on the patio when the weather is less favourable.
