The birthday girls

My wife Vee has her birthday this Monday and, by a remarkable coincidence, so does her twin sister Mari. So this weekend has marked the start of a three-day celebration involving various members of the family.
One element of the celebrations was a Saturday night dinner at Vee’s favourite local restaurant: “Incanto” at Harrow-on-the-Hill.



Vee & Mari – sisters and twins


The guys at “Incanto” organised a special celebratory collection of desserts, served on a platter with a chocolate inscription to Vee and Mari.

On Sunday afternoon, there were more celebrations – this time with family members – and candles were lit.

    Happy Birthday, Vee and Mari.
    Did Roger eat most of the birthday dessert? They seem gorgeous. Certainly, the two young ladies seem very beautiful as well.
    cheers!

    I confess that I did eat more than my share of the desserts – but you know my sweet tooth (and I was helping the girls keep slim!).

    Nice pictures of an obviously very enjoyable weekend for all.
    We were eating Italian at the weekend too – in Milan, and on Friday night were even eating al fresco. Yesterday I was in your neck of the woods, delivering to a customer in Harrow, but din’t have time to find “Incanto”, and had to make do with a quick lunch at “Noodle City” in Station Road. I was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the bill, and it made a break before my three and a half hour drive home again!

    Milan beats Harrow any day! – but I’ll be back in Paris next weekend.

    Happy Birthday to Vee and her twin Mari. It was my birthday this month too, and that of MY twin sister Anne-Marie too!

    These coincidences are amazing, Catherine. Belated birthday wishes to you both.
