Happy Birthday Ian!

Saturday Mr. Lewis turned... well he had a birthday, lets leave age out of it, so our weekend started off as an homage to Ian.

Friday night we got together with Ian and Silvia, and went to Ristorante da Felice. We have been saying for years that we wanted to go and see what all the fuss was about, and now we know! Tucked into a small hole in the wall near the train tracks in Chiavari you can find one of, or maybe the best seafood restaurant in Liguria. We had a full assortment of what was on offer from the day's menu including; cappon magro, ravioli di pesce - highly recommended and some shark for secondi. We topped it off with dessert, which was cinnamon gelato - home made - with an assortment of heavenly "fritelle" or fried doughballs rolled is sugar. I have a fascination with fried dough it seems!


Saturday afternoon, Silvia hosted a BBQ at her home. After stuffing ourselves full - topped off with a cake by yours truly, the boys ended up kicking a soccer ball around and the ladies gossiped away!



Happy Birthday Mr. Lewis!

Looks like a great party... sorry I missed it... I was busy locking myself out of my house in the howling wind in Tuscany.
