Father Christmas in Town

Another lovely sunny day and we were invited over to Penny and Frank's for lunch time drinks which were served on their terrace. We couldn't linger too long however, as we had to get home and prepare 10l of mulled wine to serve around the fountain at 7pm. Father Christmas did a tour of the village and outlying estates giving sweeties to the children and ended up in centre where the adults enjoyed the wine. Poor old Father Christmas couldn't have a drink though as he didn't want to stain his beard. Still, he and his wife came around to ours later on and we spent the Révillion together. Traditional menu of oysters, smoked salmon, foie gras, turkey, cheese and Christmas log. Can't you just hear the weight attaching itself to the hips!
