Pink Saturday

Last week the Senior Partner and I celebrated 32 years of wedded bliss, aahh!
We marked the occasion with a little retail therapy
followed by lunch at a favourite restaurant in Bayeux.

We also purchased mouthwatering deli treats
 (tuna stuffed sweet peppers, artichoke hearts and onions; three cheese ravioli; buffalo mozzarella and sun dried cherry tomatoes filled with delicate ricotta cheese) 
from
for a special "couch picnic" in front of the TV that evening.
Mr B - chef, gourmand, bon viveur and
 the love of my life

Happy Anniversary to you and your dear Mr B. Thirty-two years is a wonderful span and your celebration sounds perfect - a bit of a splash, and then saving the best for last - that wonderful, cosy picnic at home. I love it!
