7,000 portable potties and 10,000 tourist buses...

...and I will enjoy the festivities from my sofa accompanied by my own ladies' room, a warm fireplace and good food.

The menu here today will be:

Chicken Salad with Rosemary Bread

Fresh Winter Fruit Salad: grapefruit and orange sections, blackberries and blueberries

Tomato Basil Soup

and toasting with Perrier-Jouet Champagne Grand Brut

Best wishes for a great inauguration to all!
