The average age around our table was higher than Mr Jagger's total but that didn't stop us enjoying ourselves and making rather a lot of noise throughout the meal, in the usual melange of languages (French, German, Dutch and English).
Jeff excelled as usual with his inventive, skillfully crafted dishes; pan-fried foie-gras in a wild cherry sauce for example. Would you believe?
Our French family finished a little before us. As they left, I turned to say a few words as I thought I ought to apologise to them for making such a noise. There were polite smiles in return as I explained, it was a birthday celebration. The smile of the only man in the group looked genuine, along with the others as he replied, "Eighteenth?"
Touché.
