I was completely unaware of the phone conversations as I was in bed struggling to recover from the excesses of the night before .
Anyway her friend told here she believed that englishmen always had egg bacon sausage and tomatoes for breakfast so that's what she made .
I was woken up with a kiss and a smile ~ a tray plonked in front of me with the words "I English food" ~ something I couldn't complain about going by the night before.
Staring at me on the tray were two very hard boiled boiled eggs rolling around the plate out of their shells ~ a piece of lunza ~ a loukanika sausage and a full salad with lots and lots of raw tomato all soaked in olive oil and lemon juice.
Something wasn't quite right with the translation "English breakfast" somehow
It was unusual to say the least but I gave her full marks for trying .
