Margaret and I are the Sagittarian girls, our birthdays 5 days apart. Some years we're very fortunate when our celebrations are combined and we're taken to the coast to scoff shellfish. This year we were treated to La ferme marine where they have a help yourself buffet of oysters, mussels, crab, prawns, little clams...well, you get the idea. Margaret and I took up the challenge to eat our weight in crustacea. It helps to be properly attired.
A warm and gloriously sunny December day, the restaurant overlooks the blue étang where the stuff you're eating just came from. A fabulous lunch, topped by flaming sundaes for the birthday girls.
Finally, a word of thanks to my darling Henny, who'd practically cross the street to avoid an oyster, yet annually suffers this feast, dodging stray lemon squeezes, just for us.
