Andree Bonnet is 90

Andrees birthday lunch yesterday - her 90th - would have been easier to photograph had the sun not shone fiercly thought the window above her head... I should have sat her somewhere else and done a decent portrait but you can see her agreeing to that, ha -

nonetheless, I rather like this one of her with Peter Bowyer, where she is clearly on the brink of naughtiness 

 Annie and Peter Bowyer, Kat and Roland, Alain and Annie Lagauche, Wassily and Lily, Peter Dunn, Mike and Hilary Aberson and Kelly Breen helped make an entertaining, multi-national and memorable event - the oldies shared memories of Esperaza and Quillan and there was a deal of bandinage - and cake, of course.

Peter gave us a song and managed to look hazily like a Vermeer subject - and Oswald came our of hibernation to give us her blessing :)


Great day. Thanks to all, Andree for still being our friend and to all who brought food and wine.

Already planning the 100th.
