Birthday celebrations






I bet the postman doesn't know what's happening at our house as he has delivered quite a bundle of birthday cards for Tine which she opened this morning. The French don't really do birthday cards, or at least not to the same extent. (Yes, Kate, yours won as the funniest!)
.
Yesterday was even more exciting as Matt had organised a gift from him, Nad & Phil: a piano! He asked Tine if she would look after the bar for 20 minutes as he had to go to the bank. In reality he was here with the special delivery. Sorry about the poor quality of photos but I am sure you can see how surprised and overcome Tine was when she returned to discover the truth.

We invited Hugh and Jeanne round for lunch today - lovely home-made kebabs with salads, followed by apple and garden blackberry pie with custard - not very healthy after recent efforts! Hugh has been busy constructing a shed for the garden as we are desperate for storage space. He's even had me drilling holes as his apprentice. I'll be DiY king soon!
