Barbecue in Uddingston

We headed to Troon for a walk along the beach on Saturday. The blue sky and sea were gorgeous. I took off my sandals and paddled all the way along from the golf course to the centre of the town. The water was delightfully refreshing; it was not even very cold as the tide came in over the warm sand. We had French toast at the Venice Café before retracing our steps along the beach. The main beach was very busy and it was nice to see all of the people out enjoying the sunshine. Davie and Chanel messaged to invite us to a barbecue in their garden, we were delighted and arrived just after 3 p.m. for a fantastic sunny afternoon in their beautiful garden. The barbecue was absolutely delicious; halloumi kebabs and burgers with salads, dips and snacks. Davie and Chanel were such great hosts and we had a brilliant time. 
We headed home in time to watch the Eurovision Song Contest. It didn’t take long for James to fall fast asleep in the couch and I couldn’t blame him; I thought that the songs were very average this year. I still enjoyed watching it; Ally and Cat were watching it in London and Davie and Chanel were watching it in Uddingston and we compared notes about our favourites, none of us guessed that Austria would win. 
On Sunday I decided to refresh the Dale of Norway cardigan that I got from Grandma. Wool should be washed very gently in cold water and I used hair conditioner to soften it. I then laid it flat on a towel on the grass to dry. Unfortunately Floof found it and was excited to lie on top of it; she must have liked the damp and scent of it. She was rolling around on her back on it until I chased her. This annoyed her and as soon as I went back onto my hammock she returned to lie on the cardigan, keeping a close eye on me in case I returned. Tommy and Carol came round for coffee in the afternoon. They have spent a lot of time abroad this year during their house renovations so it was great to catch up. It is no surprise that we sat outside in the beautiful weather!
