Thanks for the nice feedback...
When I thought about a nice scene for our favorite couple, a cafe in my city came into my mind. It looked a lot like the one I described, except that it was in an old apartment on the first floor of a house. So you were really stepping into a living room. Unfortunately the house is torn down now. Really a pity.
She was a bit like Aunt Elsie, but not so magical.
As to the magic potion...I *had to* refere to Asterix
