09h00 – The Borroff family are going to Guedelon today, the building of a medieval castle using techniques of the day with the addition of modern day face masks, goggles etc.   I suggested a pleasant wooded route to them both there and back.

13h00 – Today is also Maisy’s birthday, P had got a cake from Nicolas the baker at Mezilles who is also our neighbour.   When they arrive back from Guedelon we intend to drive to Mezilles and take some photos of Maisy in front of the village sign (the pronounciation is virtually the same).  I started to prepare the party area, we were having DIY pizza and maybe a BBQ, we had bought some cotton trianglar and square sheet sunshades last year from JYSK at Cosne sur Loire, this was to be their first real outing.  I also made a birthday banner to hang near the gate.

23h00 – The BBQ was not required, the rain held off and the pizzas were great.   Everyone eventually got the idea of adding your own ingredients to a fresh pizza base then popping it in the oven.  Maisy cut the cake and we had beer, wine and cider.
