Tribute to Bonnemamy - Easter holidays, extensive joy!

Saturday we celebrated Liliane's 70th birthday, it is quite rare that we all get together due to a number of things, but this time it worked out perfectly to the pleasure of all. 
Bonnemamy and Bon-papa kindly invited us for a night on the town, being Sézanne. 
We got a four course dinner, a few good laughs, and the enjoyment of good company, thank you for that Liliane and Jean-Paul. And thank you for all the other things as well, for always being there for us, be it to mind the children for a night or two, sow new curtains or make the award winning carneval suit for the ever so demanding kids :) we do appreciate it!

The weather has been fantastic ever since we came down on Saturday, blue skies and 22-25 degrees. The place feels more like home than ever. 
We love the daily exchanges we have over at Mike and Glenis' place. They run a B & B and sometimes we have the pleasure of getting to know some of their guests. Like Morgan, the almost six year old Welsh boy who is so happy to come over and play with Emil this week. 
Last night we  did a communal barbecue over at their place, very fresh, with the couple from London who live in Wales, his parents, the son who's come from London to introduce his Finnish girlfriend, Mike and Glenis with their two girls and the five of us. 

That's enough words for this time, enjoy the pictures, we got a bit carried away, there are many of them, but this is after a very strict selection process. 

 I will write back soon, I promise!
