A gathering...

We had a lovely gathering this evening....to celebrate Patrizia's birthday.....Lots of lovely food and great chats and laughter!   We had a few extras along with our usual gang....Rosemary (on my left)who is Patrizia's mother and Claire (next to Rosemary), Jane's daughter....and Emily (not in the image) our new wwoofer.  Jane took the photo and i'm sorry but Mary Jane isn't in it either.  Linus was taking some photos too by the looks of him :)
