Thanks all, cake, wine and sunshine all appreciated! So far have had wonderful Dutch dark walnut bread and expect cake and wine to follow later in the day when I think they are doing a special dinner for me. DiL's mum is also coming for dinner here in Ouderkerk (near Amsterdam). Diet gone out the window until I return to UK on Friday!
Don't remember putting my birthday on GN and I only joined a few weeks ago! How do I find others' birthdays so I can wish them well?
