The Wedding after match function - 27 August 2011

The McIntosh family very kindly had arranged a BBQ at their home, Gillahill Croft, Kingswell, near Cults, on the afternoon of Saturday 27th for the NZ team.  The invite said "fingers crossed the sun will shine".  Well no, it didn't, but it didn't rain either and we were prepared with warm clothes and in a very sheltered garden.

Some timely advice from Gemma.

A final check from mother with more smoke rising off the food.  Must now be cooked to NZ BBQ standards.

Seems to meet Gemma and Andrew's approval.  A very good and relaxed occassion was had by all.

Ros and Harry, who spent some years in NZ and now back in the UK, enjoying the food but did retreat to a warmer room in the house.

Alex (Andrew's uncle) and Eric, in serious discussion about the vitues of the Esse oil fired range used for cooking and water heating at Gillahill Croft.

Gemma's sister Jill relaxing with nephew Ewan and his mother Julia.  Ewan, wearing a kilt, was usually seen at the wedding accompanying his father Stewart but like everyone else was happily relaxing with family at the BBQ.
