Roger celebrated his birthday in style yesterday. He woke up to cards from friends, a parcel from Cheryl, spoiling over breakfast by moi and then a ride in a Mercedes extra large stretch limo (bus) to Kandern where we met friends who took us on an hours car ride to the lovely little village of Riquewihr in France (we're in love with this quaint very old village). We arrived and immediately had lunch then a walk around the village, into the shops and a stop for coffee/hot chocolate as well. We eventually arrived home around 8.00pm to many messages on the phone and lots of Facebook messages!!
A very special day indeed for us both. We just shake our heads and say to each other "how blessed are we".
The cake is a Lumberjack Cake which I baked for the Hiking Group from Basel that came to lunch on Monday. We led the walk from Maulburg to Schopfheim, about 2.5 hours (our usual one we lead) and afterwards there were 11 of us for lunch - zucchini and chicken and leek soup (yes, most had to try both), lovely olive and garlic bread, I made Honey Joys and the Cake. We finished a lovely time together with Roger's special coffee's for those who requested them, tea and chocolate.
Thanks to friend Louise for the collage photo. She's a whiz.

Snazzy picture Mum... I'm guessing that's a hummingbird cake? A spilt man indeed :) xo xo
Oh sorry, didn't I say what the cake was. It's a Lumberjack cake! Oops. The photo of Roger was taken on the walk. Love, Mum xx
