Greek Orthodox Easter

We had a unique opportunity to experience the Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations with friends in Southampton this year. T (our housemate) planned a lamb-spitroast. Taking turns to manually turn the spit, the men seemed to enjoy it.

8.30am start, some rain and 6 hours later - we enjoyed the succulent lamb! Too much food for about 15 of us - majority greeks (aka the Southampton University Physics Department). Traditional Greek music and dancing throughout. I would love to experience this first hand in Greece!

I have to say, one of the best things of living here in the UK is meeting many new friends from everywhere! It is truly international and the world is seems small. In our last home, there was Caz (British), Da (American), Mo (German) and me (Malaysian). Now in this house, it is Nad (Mexican), T (Greek), Mo (German) and me (Malaysian). In the end, extending over all boundaries, we are all the same.
