Sunday redeemed

It was Yvonne's birthday and she had Kat and Roland and Rose and me and himself to lunch; that this photo of Yvonne is out of focus may be a clue to the event. It was very very good. 

We were intrduced to le trou normande, a curl of apple sorbet filled with calvados and served between the smoked salmon and the lamb. Here is Tim, responsible for a lot of the brain-cell losses of the day.

 And Kat and Roland; Rose escaped me - but heres a cute pic of himself, rather startlingly in focus.

Can't wait till next year!! Will go into training before Yvonne has another birthday.

Apropos food; turns out the lordly Ole-Bendik is without a cook so a rota has been summoned and the team will be feeding him. Bon appetite!

--------------------------It's been raining for 24 hours now. Will go and check the river - later.
