I don't panic about the big stuff: there's no point. And don't forget
that by the time we had that BBQ, Mum had been doing this sort of thing
for 20 years! And had three daughters who are all fully trained and
competent operators of such things as the Kenwood Chef and all it's
gadgetry, Big Sharp Knives, and sauspans, etc... When I did our Silver
Wedding party a couple of years back, all the friends and family just
mucked in and helped with salads and putting things on serving dishes,
and carted it all up to the paddock. It's fun. :)

Oh, the shop ladies were fine about it. Certainly a place I'll go back
to, and my Friend Diane has bought miles of stuff from them in the past,
so I knew it was a good shop.
