Chai latte for Paul and me and a hot choc for Yuri. We also got some leftover pieces of butter cake and pecan pie. At last we sat in the sun on the terrace at Café Het Gegeven Paard with something to drink. We took home with us fries from Manneken Pis and burgers and a hotdog from Five Guys for dinner. Paul made us a limoncello spritz in the evening.

Mother’s Day was a day with sunny weather and the company of my two men.
