One Ham to Another

Well, they are everywhere. There were more of them here today. Neville's brother Lew & his wife Maureen are making a quick trip to visit some friends and rellies. They came to lunch , and then we went to Naracoorte so they could see the 'Thistle Farm'. Mionr problem getting in. Neville forgot the key to the gate! He had taken every other one but that one. He & Lew had to climb over the fence, while Maureen & I stayed in the car.
Maureen's nephew & his family own a dedli/cafe in the town. They called in yesterday on their way up here from Millicent. We decided to go there for a cuppa, & Maureen commented that Kate would be surprised to see them again. I said, jokingly, that she could tell her that they had got lost on their way to Bordertown , and finished up back there. I must learn never to say things like that to Mo. She only went & done it!
I walked in just in time to hear her. The thing is, she knows her way round the district & Bordertown very well, as she grew up here. She & Lew raised their kids in Millicent. I had to tell Kate the truth. There was much laughter. Kate should have known Mo was pulling her leg.
I cooked Apricot Chicken & veg, and all but Lew had home grown watermelon for afters. Lew had some jellied strawberries. He doesn't like watermelon. Everyone agreed the meal was 'scrumptious' . Not restaurant standard by any means, but very nice.

Hams, Hams everywhere - and not a single one you can stick a fork in.
