Lobsterfest celebrating our neighbour June's Birthday.

Friday June 6th

We were very fortunate to be invited over to Roy and June's for a Nova Scotia Lobster Boil. June had arranged for 25 lbs of fresh lobster to be delivered overnight from Nova Scotia. The weather forecast was for some possible showers but fortunately the evening was beautiful.

Our small group consisted of just the 6 of us neighbours, Pat and Darryl, Roy and June and Ray and I. Perfect to still keep some social distancing, using disposable dishes etc.

Dining with a view!

We brought over our big crab cooker to use. Ray and I had not used it for about 15 years since our Macktush days. I tried it a couple of days ago to make sure it worked ... and it did. Unfortunately it would not light once at Roy's. Fortunately Darryl saved the day with a new one still in the box he had purchased recently so it saved the day! After they figured out how to assemble it without looking at the directions. lol Took a bit but we were back up boiling water within 15 minutes.

Finally they decided to look at the directions. lol

The moment of truth!

Darryl and Pat brought over some smoked salmon for an appetizer, and champagne to toast June.

Roy and I boiled up the lobster and the corn ready for our feast. 

The birthday girl, June, received the biggest lobster.

She only managed to eat the claws and part of the tail it was so big!

Although you see salad on the table .... no one ate any, just lobster and corn. :)

Clean table before the feast! Roy, Darryl and Pat

The six of us managed to get through 9 lobsters! Time to relax around the fire and watch the sun set. Lots more wine ....

 The boys having Aquavit and trying to convince us ... NOT!

We were treated to a lovely sunset.

We managed to all stay up yapping until 11:30 pm before calling it a night. What a great feast.
