A direct line to God?

That was the comment from one of our guests at the charity barbecue we held last night at Mas del Sol. The sun shone as people started arriving and it continued till sunset and the grange stayed warm till the last guests left. ( we did have the new patio heater on for the last couple of hours and people who feel the cold were happy with it). John Taylor looked well grilled sandwiched between the barbecue and the heater but Sheila his wife was happy. A real mix of people and nationalities all helping us raise money for those street children. We ended up taking 390 euros to be handed over to Via Sahel.
I worry that friends feel they cannot come for a visit to Mas del Sol with out handing over money so till next winter when we will have Opera evenings again, if you get an invite to our house over the summer, it will not be a charity event and it will not cost you .
Thank you to all who so generously came and supported us and made it such a pleasant evening.
Also a thank you to Di Hope who had given me a bottle of  homemade ''sloe gin '' This was brought out as a digestif and everyone thought it delicious. The French did not know what it was till we looked it up to discover that sloes are prunille
Thanks also to Diana Jackson for the meringue choclate dessert and Gill Catterall for two bowls of salads.
