My first Sunday Lunch post! YAY!
I've been quite excited to write about Sunday Lunch as I'll get to introduce to all of you, my two favourite people in Newcastle- my host parents, Alan and Joyce (Joyce and I share the same English name)
Michelle (my housemate aka bestie from college) and I first met our host parents when we went to Jesmond Parish Church for a Sunday service. It was my attempt to get out there and get to know more friends when I first arrived in the UK in 2011. Little did I know then that we would get so close.
Alan and Joyce are a lovely couple. They looked after us the way our birth parents would and many of my best memories in Newcastle were with them. Over the past 4 years, we have spent many Sundays, bank holidays, birthdays, christmas, new year and summer together and it's starting to dawn on me that we will have to leave each other soon when I graduate in 2016 (fingers crossed that I do graduate with flying colours). It will be an event of mixed feelings when it comes to that I'm sure.

But, let's get back to the Sunday lunch,
Sunday lunch or some people call it a Sunday roast is a British/Irish Sunday meal tradition which is normally made up of potatoes (mashed or roasted), a roasted meat (whether a chicken, beef or gammon), Yorkshire pudding, vegetable, stuffings (which Joyce normally omits cause none of us likes it) and MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE JOYCE'S HOMEMADE GRAVY! -which deserves an all capital letter emphasizing !!

This weekend however, waas a little bit different/special. Joyce made her version of Italian chicken which was scrumptuos!! Not to mention the ever so yummy new potatoes =) !
Don't be jealous => I'm really grateful to God for sending these two lovely angels to me in time of need, especially when I'm abroad and away from home.
May Alan and Joyce be blessed with good health and much joy and hapiness.
