Actually, birthday went badly wrong. I was all set to have 2 huge langoustines followed by fish fillets cooked in butter lemon juice and Pernod accompanied by a in pace bottle of champagne, but about an hours before I got cramps stomach pains and felt sick ( I wasn't, I hate being sick) but I didn't want the food or the champagne. I was slightly worried because yesterday evening I had supper with French neighbours and there were mushrooms, a special sort that he picked, girolle I think. Anyway, tummy seems to be getting better......but the langoustines and champagne will have to wait until tomorrow......maybe Lewis can give me something to celebrate
