Church picnic 2013

We had our annual church picnic/BBQ today (hot on the heels of our staff year-end function which was a breakfast this morning at Fusion Restaurant). The Van den Berghs hosted this year's picnic at their place in Pleasant Point, and the Lord gave us a fantastic day to enjoy with sunshine and warmth, and even some cloud cover when the pure sun was too hot :) Had a really superb afternoon of fellowship and food. 

Allergies were rife during the afternoon with the freshly mowed lawn heating up - I'm no good surrounded by so much nature either and came away with some seriously itchy eyes.

Pétanque was particularly popular with the men who set up games all over the yard, throwing their shots over bird baths and between trees.

My lovely mummy!  She seldom poses for photos but Chrissy's lacy parasol was more than my mom could resist, and SHE requested a picture with it!  I had much fun obliging.
