I was ready to have a very early vermut with you on Friday morning – like the French men who you see in cafes at 8am having a calvados. I couldn’t meet later as we were off to the Costa Brava for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. But I wanted to meet up first and share a virtual pre-birthday drink. However, Bloggr was having some problems and I couldn’t access the site nor write a post so I left for the seaside without even taking my computer, and I’m sorry if you came by hoping for a chat.

What about tomorrow – I’ll provide the cake – we bought it on the way home in a French pastisserie called Xidors.  I can tell you all about the trip and show you my photos!
Hope to see you!
