Jeannie's Birthday

The day started with a delicious breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg, coffee and Buck'sFizz on the terrace with the kids and Sophie Bligh from Australia, who was staying.

Then Surprise birthday barbecue up at the poolhouse, with 14 for lunch.

Oberesque Luggage!

Just had to put in this photograph to show how Stephanie Oberoi , owner of the Bombay Duck special gifts website, travels en famille! Vikram, her husband , meanwhile roared around the Iberian Peninsula on his fab scarlet Ducati. It was a wet, wet week so not the best biking weather, so perhaps driving the family bus was a better option after all .
