Dining with Friends

9.9.15:

Irene and Alan, cousins of Christian's from Normandy who are staying over in St Cyp called in unexpectedly. Unfortuately as I was waiting for Kelvin and Irene we couldn't manage more than a very quick catch up over a coffee. Kelvin and Irene who have a holiday home over in Cane,  very kindly invited me for lunch down in Banyuls. A real treat it was too. La Fanal, overlooking the sea, has a michelin* and Kelvin insisted on the "Ballade à Banyuls" menu for us all. After a few protests, I accepted gratefully and enjoyed every mouthful of fine dining. http://www.pascal-borrell.com/ballade-a-banyuls.php
A wee walk afterwards and home for a cuppa. Not much of a return but they're not the sort of people who count such things.
Feeling tired so only stayed for the business part of the music association's AGM and came home for an early night.

Went into the bank by bus but had to cut short the meeting with the lovely manager as it was taking far too long and I had a rendez-vous with Anne for a coffee. She came armed with flowers for me which was kind. Took the bus back to the village for lunch at Viv and Pepe's along with Terry and Ann. From there I walked over to Nicole's for tea, quite a trot and a discusion about the women's group.
