Bob and Lynne, and Chris and Delphine came round for lunch today. Jan knocked up gazpacho, ribs and home made ice cream. The top photo shows Chris, Delphine, Jan, Bob and Lynne munching away, and the middle photo is very rare footage of the beautiful Lynne, who hates to be photographed, with her lovely new hairdo. Sorry Lynne, but the world has to know!

Before everyone arrived, I cleaned all the patio doors, and did what I thought was a really good job. So much so, that when Jan decided to exit the study this afternoon she failed to see that the doors were shut. We had recently finished a long lunch so that could have been a contributing factor, who knows (pun intended). In case you're concerned, there was no damage to the doors, but you can see the damage to Jan's nose. Ouch!

After everyone had left, Chris showed off his new found skills by cooking dinner. We had:
Trilogie de tomate seche, chèvre et caviar d'aubergine (trilogy of dried tomatoes, goat cheese and aubergine caviar) avec son pistou (with pesto). Selle d'agneau avec son farce mousseline (saddle of lamb stuffed with mousse of chicken breast and cream), jus de roti (gravy) et legumes de saison (seasonal veg). Soupe de peche et glace au huile d'olive (peach soup with olive oil ice cream). A couple of observations about this, first it was all very, very, good, cooked to perfection. and the second we were very intrigued by the olive oil ice cream. Sounds strange but tastes fantastic. Thanks Chris, you are welcome to stay anytime. Just bring your apron and your knives!
