Take the 9:20 bus to Pyla, getting there just as Bill has started the lamb, sporting sprigs of rosemary, on the spit. Coffee and preparations, with no great hurry, as the roast is meant to take about two and a half hours, according to the butcher's expert opinion. Not long before it smells enticing, as Bill bastes it and the smoke rises. Susan and David arrive to share the meal and Jane has made a lemon cake which we have with coffee. Clouds over but manages to stay nice until lunch is over. Definitely worth doing again. S and D kindly give us a lift home. 



Darryl and Donna due in by plane but not really expecting to see them until tomorrow. Do check arrivals online and note their flight in slightly early. Less than an hour till Donna messages to say they're at the hotel (Opera, across the road from St Lazarus Church) and we arrange to meet tomorrow.
