The Roaming Stevens

Gordon Kevin Grist Stevens is Father to Michael, Simon, and my husband, Marcus and Step-Father to Indra and Tara.  He is Grand-Father to 16 outstanding, beautiful, and brilliant grandchildren and Great Grand-Father of six.   Gordon died on the 10th of September after a brief hospital stay and even though he was 93 years of age, I can assure you, the majority of his family thought he would be returning home. Death places loved ones remaining behind in a surreal state - moving through the sadness, yet...all the while not actually believing the news could be true.  Denial.  Pain.  Sadness.  Disbelief.  Grief.  Denial.  Regret.  Love.  Denial.  Disbelief.  And...more...pain.   A myriad of emotions swirl around in our minds.   Parents and Grandparents get a bad rap ~ they are continuously accused of having favourites and, no doubt, 'favs' occur naturally ~ organically.  Some family members ...

Well, realistically it's called 'Hey, Jupiter', but WHO CARES?  It's all things French again ~ and it is tucked neatly away ~ on Ebenezer Place in Adelaide. WHO KNEW?  My most valued and splendid work colleague did and since 'her man' is a most fancy chef - one would think (agree) that THEY MIGHT KNOW SOME of the very best dining spots - new OR old.  Hey Jupiter opened in 2012, but was completely transformed THIS YEAR. This place is quirky, eccentric, lovely, splendid and quite divine in ALL areas.   You can sit outide at a small, cafe table - with guests surrounding you on one side on a banquette or you can choose an intimate table in the restaurant. REMEMBER:  ALL THINGS FRENCH ~ Soupe a L'oignon, escargots a L'ail, oysters, caviar (I know, I know - yes, your eyebrows will raise right over the top of your head, but hold on to them - you'll be fine - not everything on the menu is 'over the top' expensive.)  And, A PERFECT SALADE NICO...
