‘Memorable Feast?’

 

We’d levelled up the mantelpiece

the night before, and woke to a

magnificent day… too good to work

so after a lazy late breakfast

and walk and talk we cancelled

our plans, fixed the brick cladding

back on instead, levelled the washer

let the chooks out and decided on

 

a BBQ lunch – Webber wood fired

charcoal and collected dry Marri under

the grapevine trellis the smell of

mandarines, and wood smoke under

winter sun and blue sky chooks scratched

contentedly potatoes in jackets and foil chicken

in marinade of herbs, bread cooking in cast iron

 

with banana in skins and lemon halves

rosemary, bay leaves home brewed beer

with twist of orange we chatted and

pruned the vines until succulent and

glazed smoked chicken and sausage

we ate our fill and more oh so perfect

in the warm sun a truly memorable feast

on a randomly special day in Mundaring
