Aki up at 0830 to start making her Japanese strawberry shortcake. I got up at 0930 and baked the croissants in the oven, once Aki's sponge base had been cooked. We drank a small bottle of champagne between us. We took the cake up to The Landseer, and drove back to meet Katrina...she'd brought Aki a bunch of flowers. We walked up to No.36, where Jane handed Aki more flowers. We were joined by Ben and Gayu from No.38 and walked up to the pub. Quite busy in there, but I'd booked a table by the front window. I bought drinks, then we ordered lunch...Aki and I went for the belly pork. Polly from No.124 turned up just in time for a slice of cake. Got home around 1530. Spoke to ma on the blower. They'd been planning a trip to The Blackbird for their Sunday roast, with Kath and Jim, but Jim got seriously waylaid by tyre punctures on his late morning cycle ride, so they had to cancel. We weren't very hungry come the evening, but partook of some cheese and salad, with oat biscuits, for us tea. Watched Keira Knightley as "Colette"...Dominic West as her charming but over-bearing husband was excellent. Some extraordinary photos of the real Colette appeared in the final credits...what a gal she was!!!
