Germany, a summer fairy tale last weekend. Just thunderstorms and rain. I wanted this summer actually not wear long pants anymore, but today there is no other way left. Two weeks of leg room took a sudden end.
The experience of recent years shows that every sunny day in May and June which falls on a weekend, must be used for grilling. For the end of June begins what we the Germans call it summer. Not one day more than 20 degrees and mostly overcast skies with rain showers moving through.
So Saturday was a technically better weather these days, the sacks of coal was still half full (and the fresh coal) and the chicken was on the grill.
