"Southfork Barbecue" or "Texas comes to Cambridge"

Do you remember the 1970's TV soap "Dallas"?

The Ewing family used to breakfast daily on the porch of their Texas mansion in what can only be described as a good gale of wind....

The Butler can be seen in some episodes actually leaning into the breeze to pour the orange juice...

Tonight was the night of Andy Rankin's Midsummer Energy barbecue on the Common in Cambridge.

Having cycled into the aforementioned gale (our wind turbine has been showing a steady 4-6 amps all day...)to get there, I was fully expecting a proper Southfork style barbecue.

Luckily, the wind dropped, the food was excellent, and the company even better.

I have just cycled home, full of sausages and lager, with the wind at my back.

Bliss.
