Sunday Dinner

Tiny lambs gamboling in the field
Wild and free with nothing to fear
But all too soon will come the day
When you are fattened up and way hay hay
Roast lamb and mint sauce for a Sunday Dinner
Poor little lamb is the loser – my tummy is the winner

Aww cheers Alex - makes me feel guilty but I do so love roast lamb - not that I do a roast very often these days so the lambs are safe for now. Hugs and Happy Easter Jan xxx
