A sign that summer is on it's way
by monkeyshamble @ 2008-05-06 - 15:53:58

You know summer is soon coming when my neighbours start their barbeques.
They gather all their friends and family and have a barbeque on the lawn outside our house.
It's not an ordinary barbeque though. They don't grill hamburgers and hot dogs and that stuff. No they go all the way, they are grilling a whole lamb! Not kidding!
Just outside my window it's funny to see really.
I'm not sure they are allowed but they seems to have a great time together.
Having their car parked just next to them that's pumping loud music, the kids are running around playing with eachother.
So nice to see :)
I guess most swedes would find this particular barbeque as horrifying.
I don't live in a typical swedish neighbourhood here's a mix of swedes and people from different countries and cultures.
But I find it charming in a way.
In a way I wish I had that.
A big family that got together and spent time togehter.
Sadly my family is me, my son, my mum and my sister and that's basicly it.
I could miss having a big family sometimes.
But on the other hand I've heard horror stories about family gatherings.
And with that in mind I'm glad I don't.

Hey Large Families can be very complicated and a strain,

You, Your Son, Mum and Sis, sounds very uncomplicated.

But I do enjoy a nice rack of lamb with plenty of Mint sauce! x
