We finally arrived in the very large marina of Bormes les Mimosas in preparation for a rendezvous with the whole family for Lindsay’s 60^th on the 4^th.  Sally, Chris, Heather and Di, having driven down, met us in the delightful little Hotel Paradis halfway inland between the seaside resort and the old village on the hilltop.  We spent two enjoyable nights there and had a celebratory meal up in the upper village.

Birthdays are a wonderful excuse for a family reunion:

Lindsay’s cake(s) – made by Sally and transported all the way from St Albans!

A memorable birthday breakfast:
