Equinoctial

I've been to the Naw-Ruz celebration in La Rochelle. Lovely people, much fun, and much Persian food. The first two courses were on-diet, but after that... ahem. The spread included the best Persian bakhlava I've ever tasted, and some excellent cheese with pain ancien, the wonderful French bread made with dough fermented for ages. I just couldn't resist. First bread since November!

The drive home took a lot of concentration under the spectacular moon. Fortunately there's hardly any traffic in the middle of a Sunday night, and if I felt like stopping at the side of the road to admire it I was inconveniencing no-one.

Happy Naw-Ruz/New Year/Ostara/Equinox, everybody :)
