Nice relaxed start to the day - Susana made bacon & eggs for breakfast, & we all took turns cuddling the baby! After a lazy morning, the Sparks-Lawrence family got into the car & went out to get Mark's suit for the Christening fitted, buy some chickens, fruit & veg for tonight's "English meal"! Susana then took M with her to her hair appointment, where M had her finger nails painted! D started to prep the veggies, with the help of Mark's bottle of whiskey, for tonight's roast:- garlic roast spuds, carrots in butter & honey, cauliflower & broccoli in cheese sauce, devils on horseback, green beans in "Grandma's special sauce", garlic mushrooms & yellow pepper in cream, apple sauce & Yorkshire puds!
The whole family came round to eat: 10 adults, a teenager & 3 kids! A very different kind of meal than the Mexicans are used to, but everyone tucked in heartily! (We won't mention the wholemeal Yorkshire puddings, or the impossible to roast potatoes!!)
Afterwards, D&L tidied up the kitchen, & did the washing up, while Sylvia & her daughters made decorations & party favours for the Christening tomorrow.
