celebration and recreation

Nyons, France
Happy Birthday to Mboy-now7!
What a good place to request a chocolate cake!! Just a pity the fancy decorations melted on the walk home eh! Small price to pay for mercury hovering all day in the high thirties though, don’t you think?
And expecting this, we set out in the early morning for our stroll around the medieval town, Nyons.
The afternoon was devoted to keeping cool…perhaps predictably, given our current location, playing boules…and reading.
(I devoured Hugo Hamilton’s very clever tragic culturally enlightening family and language story “The Speckled People” – certain adult themes mean I’d recommend parents take a look before handing it on to their children to read).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mboy….
as dinner drew to a close you declared, “It truly was a happy day.”
And you were right.

Happy Birthday!!! It looks like you all had a wonderful day celebrating. So, how WAS the chocolate cake?
The chocolate cake was fantastic. Best of all the inside mousse was still cold when we devoured it! COLD. Aaaaah.
BTW Fiona, sorry I ahvne’y been replying to your comments – we have had shonky internet, but for the next month we have a stick for Italy so I should be a bit better! No photos of Rouen sorry – we only stopped in the supermarket and drove straight on.
What else did you want to know?
Glad you had a ‘happy’ day M7………that cake looks delicious! Take care and thanks for the postcards, there’s always a scuffle to get the first reading……..nothing like thinking of others!!!! Love from all of usxxxxxx
happy birthday!!
