We all survived the middle granddaughter's Peter Pan themed fourth birthday party with 19 or so (impossible to count at any one time) children 3-8 ; the boys as pirates and the girls as Wendys or Princesses. The number of French speaking youngsters was a bit of a problem when explaining the finer points of 'Captain Hook's footsteps, or Quelle heure est'il, Monsieur le Loup? The simplest games are always the best and walking the plank attracted the lot, regardless of sex.There was a guest appearance by a professional Captain Hook, at a greatly reduced 'commencement de saison' fee but he was soon sent packing as being 'trop scary'. The cake was a marzipan and icing covered barbie doll on top of chocolate-surprisingly no reports of late night vomiting as it was very rich and very delicious

Huttonian enjoyed a vague supervisory role and was in charge of the chablis for those grown ups permitted into jamais jamais land and soon it is back to the Merse for


a rest
