homecoming

Toby opens her back door and finds the garden full of friends:) Fortunately after their long journey, she and Leo were just too exhausted to put up a fight and just joined in the party -We all had a wonderful evening, very good hearted apero in the garden - in the course of which it was discovered that some of the water pipes had burst in the winter, woops, and that the large dancing Krishna Toby had bought in India was in pieces in its packaging. The indomitable Dutch carried on cheerfully.

Max and Andrea have more guests plus many of the usual suspects turned out so we were a tidy crowd- Stuart arrived late and alone since Scottish Dave and El had missed their flights. Well, not missed them as such; Scottish Dave had booked the plane tickets and got his wife's name wrong, et alors? So they weren't let on the plane. They will allegedly arrive today for the Toques et Clochers in Antugnac, which is where we will all be tomorrow...

When the blanquette started to run out we decamped to the Creperie - here are Stuart and Leo - and made a lot of noise late into the night.
