AFTER breakfast I put a salt and pepper rub on the beef joint and fire put he smoker. Electric one this time as a bit of an experiment.

Mikey goes out a walk while Margaret and I prepare food and hide Easter eggs ready for Catriona, Will and the kids coming later on.

It’s an unexpectedly nice day and we’re able to eat outside and spend the afternoon enjoying the sunshine and company.

The beef turns out pretty good. Just a couple of hours in the Ninja Woodfire.

Catriona, Will add the kids head off early evening and we get all tidied up then chill for the rest of the night.
