Our neighbours, Kate and Rob, are having a party tonight, to which most of the village seems to be invited. When I met Kate in town last week she asked if I could make the quiches – for eighty people!

So, since Julia and Chris left at lunchtime today, I’ve been in the kitchen. I’ve used a kilo of flour, 30 eggs, a kilo of bacon and 2litres of creme fraiche, amongst lots of other ingredients; Rob’s just been to collect them. I think they look OK; I just hope they taste as good.

Time for a shower now and make myself presentable;-)
