On the 11th April, Easter Saturday, we went over to Tajan for a joint birthday celebration. It was our friend Kates birthday and 2 days later it is Nigels birthday. Kate and Peter moved into their new house just a few weeks ago so we were looking forward to seeing the new property. It was a dreadful day weatherwise, very wet and at times I had to have the wipers on full. Being Easter there was quite a traffic jam in Aire sur l'Adour so the journey there took a couple of hours, 20 minutes longer than usual. We found the place without a problem and were very relieved to have arrived at last. Rambo had been invited too and he was very keen to get in the house as he doesn't like the rain! After a tour of the house, which is very nice with wonderful views over the valley to the mountains which of course were obscured in the gloom, we had a long, chatty lunch. The plan was to go for a walk in the afternoon but sadly the rain never stopped so we just had a quick look around the garden before settling down to carry on chatting before we had a cup of tea and some birthday cake. Kate has a bad neck at the moment and is having to wear a support collar and Nigel has the same problem so we had to have a photo of the pair of invalids in their collars!! Much hilarity! Just before we left we saw a couple of deer come out of the neighbouring woodland to feast on the new grass. A very good day and a good time was had by all despite the weather.
