ROAST HAM NIGHT

Saturday night was the last village gathering

of the year at the Salle de Fete.

Around 160 turned up for a 3 course

meal with lots and lots of wine.

The event was to raise funds for the village

football team, and maybe now they can 

afford Ronaldo.

A decent night out ended with a very

euro pop disco.

All good fun.

IN THE NEWS

Our attendance at the 11th November remembrance ceremony,

made the Ouest-France newspaper.

I really don't know why as we go every year.

Must have been a slow news day!

REMEMBRANCE DAY

A good village turnout of 150 or

so attended remembrance day.

Usual routine.

Muster outside the Mayor's at 1130.

Kiss and shake hands with everyone.

A minute's silence.

A speech from Mr Hollande read

out for all to hear.

Sadly we heard nothing as the church

bells were ringing out whilst this was happening.

A local band played the "Marseillaise" to which

we have now learnt the words...

"Der der der der der der de da da,

der de da da de do do da da.

The above photo appeared in 

today[s Le Telegramme newspaper.

HALLOWEEN

I made a couple of curries for halloween at

the Cheval Blanc in Plancoet.

Had about 30 turn up at 8 euros a head,

and profits were for the Hospice Africa

shop in Jurgon les Lacs.

Sadly, not one person from the charity turned

up for the event, which shows a massive

lack of respect for all those that turned up.

Anyhow, a good evening was had by all.

Marie carved a couple of our home grown pumpkins,

and did a real good job.

We now have pumpkin soup for the winter!
