I always dreamed of a pink Christmas ...

We spent Christmas Eve as we always do at our dearest friends 's house in Kommetjie

This year the theme was pink and red
 splendid evening with a pink sunset , the gazpacho to start matched the table setting and we all enjoyed la vie en rose !




Esme forgot for a brief moment that la vie est rose !
