Memories of BBQ in Loughborough....

We started the BBQ at 12pm in the fantastic weather. Our BBQ is typical of Malaysian and Singaporean style with loads of different types of food. Seasoned chicken wings (spicy and non-spicy), meat skewers, vegetables, sweet corn, etc etc.. geeshh.. I am getting hungry when I think of the food... ;-)

Cooked food ready to eat during the BBQ. Since we gotta wait for the BBQ food to be cooked, the host also prepared some cooked food to satisfy our hungry stomachs first while we wait for the BBQ food.

After a super full meal, we decided that we seriously need a stroll to hasten our digestion of the food we had...
We met a friend who was picking some cherries from this tree. The cherries were black and very sweet. We decided to get a ladder to pick some cherries for ourselves. It was very fun. One go up the ladder to pluck those sweet and juicy cherries, two hold the ladder, two hold the plastic bags that we brought, and one to spot which part of the tree had the most cherries... As we pluck, we ate a lot of cherries too. Oh boy.. did I mention that we seriously needed a stroll after the food?? geesh.. we are eating again...

We plucked some cherries and some of the branches off. hmm.. beautiful decoration for the hat :-)

High up plucking the cherries.

oopss.. that cherry dropped... quick dun waste it, pick it and put into the bag or the mouth

The word "Medoc" is not used in loughborough. The local people in Loughborough and Leicestershire tend to use the term of endearment "Me Duck" in shops etc. You get used to it!!!

Remember to take winter pictures, and maybe autumn pictures of this University town. Maybe rugby matches or athletics meets ones too! Informative. Great job! Pix at the restaurant is "nice".

Maybe you don't like this place much Lina, I understand very well the difference of culture between Malaysia and England. On the other hand, I think you are living in one of the cutest towns of England. A great job you did here Lina...

lol, your local custom tip is so true ;-)) When I was studying in UK, it was always entertaining to look all the students coming back from the pubs around 11pm...
