Pizza Hut, anyone?

We brought Maddy back with us after Good News Club as there is such fun stuff to do in Piccolo now. By the time we got home the bread which had made itself in the breadmaker was ready to come out, still hot. Maddy, who is a rather useful and helpful sort of girl, cut it up for me. At 2.10 we went back to town so Nickthefish could go swimming again, with Geoff and Maddy. Pam and I took our cameras and meandered down to Castle Gardens and then back up, leaving the boys watching a DVD at Pam’s place. Pam had invited us earlier to stay for tea, saying that we could order pizzas and have them delivered. One of the things we’ve really missed on the island is the take-aways, especially real pizza, and we all like to joke about it and pretend that we’re going to get KFC, pizza, etc. When it turned out that Pam actually wasn’t joking, and that the pizza place in Half Tree Hollow actually has a proper menu and does deliveries to town for 50p, I was gobsmacked; all the more because we had had a pizza from them about two years ago and it was unimpressive – who has tuna and sweetcorn as a pizza topping? But these were the real deal…mozzarella cheese, ultra-thin crust with real mushrooms and heaps of topping. Wow!!

Do you have Pizza Hut in South Africa?
Funny. Pizza (traditional with mozz. cheese) was one of the things we really missed while we were on SH. Our family asked what we wanted to have on our first night home and that was it. Good 'ole pizza from the local pizza place.
