Woohooo, it's the 1500th post...

 ...so let's make it a special one!

A long time ago my Dad said, I'll never be rich but I'm rich in family. Many years later I can say the same, but this time my French family.

And this is just Tine's Mum's side of the family!

Cousin Monique wanted to organise a celebration for husband Jean, Tine's first cousin, and what a success it was, with very few people missing.

Jean & his brother Claude

An earlier view from the steps. It actually started to rain then but luckily the rest of the day was perfect.

This is just the apéritifs

Being Easter Sunday there was an Easter egg scramble of course.

We also celebrated Jean-Pierre's 70th birthday a couple of days early, everyone signing the wooden guitar.

Simon & Nadine flew over from the UK...

...and Alfie (and Betty too but not in the photo)!

We also got to meet Jade, here with Philippe.
