THE HALLOWEEN BASH - GHOULIES ARE OUT!

The English and French turned up suitably attired for a Halloween bash at the Cheval Blanc last night, and a good time was had by all.

Live music, food, plenty of drink, gave the whole place a real party atmosphere.

The Cheval Blanc is becoming a community centre for ex-pats and locals alike for language learning, rambling, painting, and a library.

Anyway, here goes the pics from last night with a description.

Don't forget to double click to enlarge the picture.

Left to Right:

Lily, Jo, Marie, Annie, Chrissy, Me, and er..Mikhail.

Everyone made the effort to dress up in Halloween costumes except..er....

..Mikhail, who came as a terrorist.

Not the smartest move in an Irish bar!!!!!

John and Chrissy as Frankenstein and Morticia.

Doug and Jan make an effort.

Jo takes a picture as Daisy nicks her lager!

She show's promise for a 15 year old!

The 2nd pumpkin carving that Marie did.

Marie won the fancy dress and was presented with a bottle of Mumm Champagne.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

We are going to a Halloween party at the Cheval Blanc in Plancoet tonight.

Marie has carved the pumpkin, and Al is doing a bit of food for 40.

Should be quite a good evening!

FLAG COUNTER

A STRANGE PARTY INVITE

Anyone who laughs at this can just bugger off about visiting next summer.

We have a friend who we meet in the bar now and again called Didier.

We don't know him well enough as so far as to invite him for dinner, but we chat quite often.

Anyway, Didier turns up this afternoon with an invitation to a party.

Not a tupperware, Ann Summers, or Avon party.

We have been cordially invited to his place on Tuesday evening for a "Nutrition for Seniors" evening.

Bloody herbal tablets for senior citizens to aid those aching joints or for embarrassing wind problems.

There's a few free drinks in it...So, we are going!

LOTS OF WOOD

We are more prepared this winter with a huge stock of wood to burn.

We had to light the fire last week for the first time this autumn.

Al has chopped stacks of wood over the summer.

And there is still plenty in reserve.

Hopefully the fuel strikes will ease off now and we can get our order of domestic fuel for the central heating.

A SUNDAY STROLL

We took the dogs out on a couple of extra long walks around the village last week.

it's really deep into autumn now as these pictures show.

It's getting cold too!

FIRST HOME DARTS GAME

The darts team have taken to National level very well indeed.

Dol de Bretagne were beaten 13-6 last night in a very impressive performance.

With a squad of 6 this year, we are confident we can make the step up to the semi pro ranks.
