a birthday lunch that turned into supper, and an impromptu discotheque a la francais

what a fabulous way to spend a sunday.

S's birthday lunch - 23 people around one humungous table. his mother in law cooked a delicious meal -- courgette soup, a warm and hearty cassoulet served with couscous, colonel (lemon sorbet drizzled with vodka), fruit and apple tarts, mucho vino -- which everyone devoured. the house was filled with grown ups, toddlers, babies and it was lots of fun.

it began at 2pm, and it ended (regretfully) at 10pm with me having to drag a certain person away from some serious 80s grooving.
