commencing the festivities

Here's Gracies friend Lucy, gone back to Blighty today but welcome back anytime. Her nails match the tablecloth, obviously a woman of taste.

[This happened on Weds but the ordo is being odd and posted it elsewhere]

 She and Gracie and Kat and Bob and I passed the evening in the Creperie checking out Nightingales possible replacement (Charlene) She held up well. 

Which is more than can be said for me. Bob went early to bed after a grueling journey and everyone came in for drinks. It was the port that did the damage, plus the lemoncello - bad mix. Lesson learnt and will behave from now on. 

Heres Jess, commencing her/his festivities also

 Reminds me of a cheery xmas song; https://youtu.be/ccefqYQWtdA
