We took a visit to Balmain, where I worked at an Italian coffee shop called Bar Contessa, 18 years ago. Con and Sarina who owned it when I worked there, sold it to a chap called Marco 8 years ago. He recommended the meat balls and linguine - really, really good - and made the boys some cute wide-eyed baby chinos. Many things about the decor had changed but the tiled floor in the kitchen I used to run around on, mainly to the tunes of Van Morrison it has to be said, and the gigantor jars of antipasti above the fridges remain.
