A couple of friends came over to spend the evening at home yesterday. After a short walk, we found on the beach. It was still warm and going for a swim was quite tempting. We did unfortunately not planned jerseys, after a few minutes of hesitation we finally we throw water t-shirt. I can confirm that water at 15 ° in the month of May firms that skin up. In the opinion of our neighbor: “There are only Parisians to bathe at this time!“.

Diving we had good an appetite, boys concocted mojitos along with small toasts with tapenade and marinated peppers for an appetizer. We then prepared lasagna with leeks and salmon followed by a strawberry-kiwi salad. The dinner was well watered pink ice, it was like in the middle of August!
