Twelve months ago we were dining at a lovely little restaurant in Availles-Limouzine in central western France. We had been to the restaurant several years before with friends and we had vowed to return one day. We had never had service or food like we did at this place.
We were given free appetisers before choosing our courses and at the end of our meal we were presented with more free tiny sweet morsels to finish with. The food was all locally sourced and we had some jet-black bread which we were told was coloured by ink from either cuttlefish or squid. I forget which now.
This is a photo of the dessert we had on this day a year ago. It seems much, much longer ago as so many things have happened in the intervening twelve months. Are you able to say exactly what you were doing this time last year?

I knew we were overseas and I was wondering where so I checked the 'details' on my photo files and found the photos taken on this date 12 months ago.

@judyev Must also note that when my wife took me to a posh hotel for my 60th birthday we were given a complimentary amuse-bouche which consisted of a single prawn nestled in a scraping of sauce and sitting in the middle of an enormous plate. Very ostentatious, and we don’t eat prawns.

Amuse-bouche? Is that what it's called? Yes that does sound very ostentatious. All that trouble and you both said 'ugh'.

It is so nice that you could revisit the place. Free appetizers and free tiny sweet morsels..they seem to bee too good with their guests.
Last year at this time, I had gone for a family vacation to Chikkamaglur, a small hill station in Karnataka, India. But i do not remember what we did on this day. It was a 4 day vacation that we planned during August mid term break around our Independence day 15th Aug. That is vaguely I can remember of!!

Our photos all have the date on them so it was quite easy for me. But that sounds like a nice vacation.

@arunima25 Because I take so many and use them so often here I have them in folders so they are sort of sorted. But I still have trouble finding the ones I want from time to time.

@JudyEv I will also find date on photo. But that would be tiresome as I have not organized them since a long time.

If I open my planner from last year, I would certainly know what I did exactly 12 years ago. But my old planners aren't near me at the moment and I couldn't remember any significant happening on this very same day last year.

@JudyEv I have a collection of planner journal. I used about 10 in a year for different purposes. We actually call ourselves the planner addicts. We collect traveler's notebooks, etc from different brands including designer ones.

@toniganzon That sounds a nice hobby. I love paper products but don't collect anything special.

I could check my diary entry on here for that day - the dessert there looks fantastic

I can't tell what was I doing this time last year. I think I am a very forgetful person. If it's not a very important thing. I don't usually remember.

It looks luscious..I don't know but probably packing up and trying to put my house on the market that did not happen.
I met my sis for lunch around this time last year I think. She and the family were in Washington on a trip, before the boys went back to college.

FB sometimes comes up with where we were a year ago and Vince will tell me what it's saying. Are you pleased now that you didn't sell your house?

Yes, we know where we were! Do we win a prize if we tell?
Your photo looks so pretty.

Haha. There doesn't seem to be much competition. It's lucky the date is on the details of the photo or I would only have known we were in France somewhere.

Not unless I look at a photo or something jogs my memory. Also if I post a photo of an event I was at, Facebook would share that memory a year later so I find that very nice.
