MAMA BBQ & Berries

Yesterday more than 20 MINIs gathered at At Monadnock Berries for the MAMA Berries & BBQ event (see this MINI2 thread)
We had a beautiful day and the farm location is fabulous, sitting at the top of a hill with green into the distance and Mount Monadnock in the distance:


(the duck with arm band is in tribute to Ed (”MaxaMINI”) who died suddenly just before the event)

The day started out a little “bumpy”, especially for Derek (”MetalMiniMayhem”) - his MINI got sick on the way to the farm:

But thanks to the astounding skills of Pete (”BWROOFCHEX”), Dereks car was fixed in time to join our drive later in the afternoon (I did not get any pics of the drive, because I led it, so check out the great pics over on Harveys web site).

It was a great day with a great group of MINI friends, great berries, great food and great views - thanks to Tony & Fenella for inviting us, Rick & Laurie for organizing the event and the drive, and everyone for making the day such fun …
