2018 February - Paul and Carol S.
​
Many thanks go to Paul and Carol for hosting this months GTG.
​
Despite predictions of rain and the previous weeks high temperatures and horrid humidity the weather had calmed down.
The day was a little warm with mild humidity, but their A/C sorted that out.
​
On arrival we were made at home with offers of delicious beverages and starter nibbles.
Which we happily consumed while sampling the delights of their Hi-Fi.
The main room has so many things to take in I'm sure I only captured a small part of it.
So much yummy food, in so many varieties.
​
Much to someone's delight there was Cheese cake.
Better still.
There were TWO Cheese cakes :)
