Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to you all!

We cheated a little and left Juan in a car park for Christmas and New Year.  We got a great deal on an apartment so treated ourselves to the luxury of warmth and hot showers.

We decided on lamb for Christmas dinner and went to the butchers to get some tasty meat.  My Spanish was slightly lacking and the butcher brought out an entire lamb.  After some gesturing he hacked the lamb down the middle and chopped a leg off.  We ended up with a very tasty looking leg of Lamb.  The apartment was lacking an oven, so we slow cooked the lamb in a large pan for 5 hours.  It was awesome! The lamb was complimented with a great bottle of red from 'Les Twitchies' - Thank you!











The van animals (Derek, Simon, Chad, Nigel, Caesar, Burt and Glen) joined us for Christmas too.  It was a pretty rowdy affair, especially when they got hold of the Whiskey miniatures!  Many thanks to my parents who provided a lovely bag of prevents, which we literally put under the tree!
