The fun starts here

This morning we took the dogs to a 'new' pension in nearby Fontanes, for no other reason than to try it out. There will be extended periods over the next few days when it will be difficult with the dogs so we decided that they would be better off in kennels.

In addition to our arrivals later in the day, Jill and Harry arrived this afternoon and I get the airport run whilst Jan prepares food for this evening. She had decided on an Italian feast consisting of home made antipasti (anchovies in oil, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts and insalata caprese), pasta with a mushroom sauce, arrosto misto (roast quail, duck and pork) followed by oranges with a caramel sauce and tiramisu.
Jan and I then shot over to Montpellier to pick up AJ and his birthday party guests and ferry them back in a Renault Espace, hired for the occasion. It was a fun dinner and went on into the small hours.
