My birthday in December was a marvellous day. We started by going to an exhibition of pretty watercolours, painted by a group of our friends. We snapped up Erszi's fish, which will look great in the kitchen. Pleased as punch, we headed to the coast in convoy. Eleven of us scoffed oysters and other foods of the sea, washed down with deliciously chilled Picpoul de pinet. It was so good to have Margaret along, Lizzie and Freddie's mum. We'd flown in together from the UK the day before. I'm Louise to her Thelma. Her birthday was just a few days prior, so it was a double celebration. Not the sunniest day, but how wonderful to be together!

Back in September, unbeknownst to me, Henny commissioned our friend, the sculptor Teddy Hutton, creator of beautiful things, to make a cutting board for me. In the shape of a pig; I'm rather fond of them. This little trio arrived in ascending size. Three little pigs. I love them.
