This weekend we had our annual family summer barbeque. They're always a big affair, 23 old and young hearts this year. The weather forecast was stormy and got us a bit worried. Luc…

First of all, I can't wait to show off my new garden. I had it done a few weeks ago, digging up all the crap and clay, and replaced it with fresh soil and new turf. Now I have a ve…
