60th birthday celebrations

We can't stop the years from ticking by (or should that read galloping by?) but what a great day we had celebrating Tine's 60th birthday, finally visiting the mediaeval castle at Talmont.

Sir Dave & Lady Tine...

...and Sir Ian & Lady Jill

Now promoted to royalty!

There's always a miscreant

Oh yes, we visited the castle too!

The birthday girl awaiting her banquet?

There's beautiful stonework everywhere

One final arty shot

ps I was very amused when a couple of close Français said with dismay, 'But the castle is all in ruins, and there's no furniture!' Give me Talmont to a stuffy château on the Loire any day of the week!
