I am always pretty happy to have a birthday 🥳 ! It’s better than the alternative 😁.

I had a lovely day. A quick visit to the local market at Duclair to buy some cheese and pâté, a new patisserie for lunch, the arrival of my worksite materials and a lovely dinner!

The diplomate – berries and cake, kind of like a pudding 😊

Before heading to dinner we had a photo to mark the day.

We went to dinner at a lovely local restaurant at Jumieges. It is called Auberge des Ruines and it specialises in locally sourced produce. It was a lovely dinner!

The chef Christophe Mauduit works with local farms to put forward his interpretation of Normandy flavours. The lamb I had was from the field just down the road from the restaurant.

Thanks to everyone for my birthday wishes and messages ❤️
