Magic dinner

Jean and John

Gert and Elsbeth were foolhardy enough to invite me and Bob, Bobs brother John and his partner Jean, Pete and Clare, Roland and Kat to dinner last night -they must be exhausted today! The conversations never flagged and the ambiance in their beautiful house was magic. 

Elsbeth, Clare, me

Elsbeth and Gert and delicious meal :)

me interacting with the art - and Clare and John

It's clear the I'm not the photographer - Roland took the camera and gave me a night off, hoho - I took the next one though, which is of the wastebin in the playground... 

As the group left the party just before midnight we found it burning. 

Went back to Gert and Elsbeths for water to put it out. It was burning quite fiercely and there was talk of rousing the pompiers but no-one could remember their emergency number (note to self; put it on the mobile)

Gert galloped round with watering cans and Roland found some blankety stuff and they put it out in minutes.

Presumably it was started by a cigarette left to smolder. There was no-one around, anyway.

The rest of the stroll home was cheery and uneventful though there was much partying at Luc's bar. Aha! Toby is home from hospital for the weekend and the Scottish Daves are here or a week, perhaps there is a connection????
