A taste of home.

The three "J's" - Jerram, J and John.
Over the past week Jerram, Fr. Mick’s nephew, J and John have been staying at our place in Montenegro while visiting Lima as part of their world travels. It was rather fun to once again have three young people, all in their twenties, living with us; it tended to bring back lots of memories, especially the very different hours they keep from us oldies!
Marion decided that Sunday would not be Sunday if we didn’t sit down to a lamb roast. So it was off to the local market early Saturday morning to get the leg of lamb before anyone else could get their hands on it, literally!
After watching the Spain versus Germany European Championship Cup match on Sunday afternoon we all sat down to roast lamb, gravy and vegies. The vegies only consisted of roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, beans, carrots, cauliflower and white sauce and the mandatory tomato, onion and breadcrumb pie! For anyone who knows Maz’s lamb roasts I can assure you this one was as good as it gets, all we missed was Kate P’s apple crumble!
As a sideline Mick put his TV in our house so that the visitors could watch a few programs and thanks to that I was able to watch two recent Hawthorn matches, a win against Bombers and a loss to the Bulldogs.
Lamb roasts and the Hawks, almost too much!
