This was Ellen's birthday - and I better get it right. Fiona and Anthony proposed (back in July) that I try a new idea - a romantic dinner in the middle of a pond of lotus plants with our own chef and staff. I agreed. We ate by candle light - and it was amazing. Here is the entrance
Ellen and Pisey and ?. Pisey was our hostess and was absolutely perfect
Here is the kitchen
Our music man from the nearby village
The staff
The pavilion by day
Pisey and the runway to our romantic dining spot

The kitchen
Frank and Ellen
Looking back toward the kitchen
When we finished, we walked back to our bungalow - and found that there were candles lighting the way
Then inside, our bed was decorated with a heart of orchids
Another view
And off to the side, another floral heart and candle. A perfect evening
