Late in the day

16 July ... it's a resonant date for me ... birthday of my only child ... so there is much preparing of cakes and food going on...

And then the actual eating and drinking.... a Salade Nicoise, spicy bean balls, butter bean salad, and something with cucumbers and olives...

Followed by a lemon and almond cake...

and far too much rumptious jollifciation of he vinous kind throughout...
