Lamb shank surprise
Flames leapt and fluttered
around the grill plate as I added another mulga
stick to our campfire. Laying back in my comfy
chair, I dreamily gazed into the dancing flames and
wondered briefly what day it was. For the life of
me I couldn’t remember. But after more than
four months chasing gold in the Western Australian
outback one day does tend to blend into another.
My reverie was interrupted by
a sharp “Ahem” from my little cactus
flower, who had suddenly appeared and was glaring
with disapproval at my artfully built campfire.
