Thanks Sam.
DeleteHappy birthday. I'm struggling to decide which dish looks the most inviting. I love mackerel but both main courses look really good. Then again, a triple dessert... Continue having an excellent birthday.

DeleteA very happy birthday to you Diane. What an amazing meal, where did you eat? Have a fantastic day. Love Kerry and Roger x
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry I see you have tracked the restaurant down. Only 10 minutes from us and very special. We have looked at it several time, but thought we would wait for a special occasion. This was the time and it was superb. See you soon Diane
DeleteHi Diane .. looks totally wonderful - and I imagine on your actual birthday today, you'll be putting your feet up to recover after all that delicious looking food - just mouthwatering! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary and yes you are right, we are taking it easy today :-) Have a good week. Diane
DeletePS - I've found the website and the food looks delicious x
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it but the sound is a bit annoying!!
DeleteCrikey Diane, that was one hell of a meal! And wishing you the very best of times ahead, and hoping that you continue pedalling your bike for many years to come. Vx
ReplyDeleteVera it took us two hours to quietly get through it all, it was fantastic though. I ned to get out more on my bike!! Hop you are well. Diane

Fly he is always thoughtful, and he has booked a 3 day getaway next week which is a surprise, I have no idea where we are going! Thanks for the kind words. Diane
DeleteIt sounds like you had a great Happy Birthday, Diane! It looks like a delicious dinner and here's wishing you the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam, it was delicious and certainly a day I will not forget :-) Diane
DeleteHappy Birthday, Diane; I hope you are enjoying your surprise getaway!
ReplyDeleteThat's strange Diane - I left a comment a couple of days ago but it doesn't seem to have appeared! Anyway, I simply added my best wishes for your special day and commented on how good the food looked and that you looked radiant in the photo. Lets hope that this doesn't fall into the blogger "black hole"!
ReplyDeleteThank you Craig, I also have odd comments go astray, I even found some of my own, on my blog, in the spam, did check for yours but it was not there either! Thanks for the good wishes and if you are ever in The Charente again I highly recommend this place. Hope all well with you both. Diane
DeleteI hope you are still celebrating because I want to wish you a VERY Happy Birthday, too! You are a beautiful lady and I'm wishing you the happiest of years ahead! Sweet birthday hugs, Diane....too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely message. Yes still celebrating, and I still have a 3 day surprise getaway next week as well :-)) Take care hugs Diane
