Birthday baskets

Pézenas market in the morning where we bought delicious things for my birthday lunch in the garden - olives, pissaladière, goats' cheeses, cured ham, fruit (wine we had already). Also bought cuttle fish, prawns and clams to make fideua (like paella but made with pasta) in the garden for Sunday lunch tomorrow.

More treats for supper tonight, but the best treat is having family here and hearing from those who can't make it by post and phone.

Sorry I'm not commenting much at the moment - making the most of family time, which is so short this weekend.
