The atmosphere was just like a festival and was very infectious! There were half naked men dancing, people singing, crowds cheering - the lot! It made is wish we could have things like this in the UK, although we don't really have nipple tassel appropriate weather in Newark...
The streets around the Civic Centre were all closed off and the police would casually stroll past the drunk people partying without batting an eyelid! Doubt we'd get that at home if we were in the streets! Needless to say, we want a gay pride party in Newark !!!
We were probably some of the only sober people there so after taking in the atmosphere we headed back to the house, rather than be tempted into stripping all our clothes off, slapping on some nipple tassels and downing a bottle of wine!
Once back at Hellhouse we got to meet the cutest baby boy, Daniel - too sweet for words. His mum lives in the appartment below so she brought him up to say hello, he was totally gorgeous and we were both 'awwwing', saying 'BA BA' and doing high 5's with him until it he decided he'd had enough haha! Hopefully we'll pulling faces and shouting ''BA BA!' with him tomorrow too :)
This evening I made Lemon drop martinis- a famous recipe at the Barthez household ;) they went down a treat! Jeff cooked up an amazing BBQ with pork chops, Italian sausage, burgers, fresh corn, grilled peppers and more! I have developed a love for American mustard and pickles, Amy doesnt share this love just yet but I have over a month to convince her!
After dinner we sat with Jeff putting the world to right discussing everything from feminism and relationships to global warming and drugs ! Great banter!
