Pomp and Circumstance

Another ceremony, this time down in the village and this time the Normans were on parade too. In fact, among the group there was a Brit from St Helen's who married a French woman and settled in la belle France, much as I've done. The Mairie provided today's lunch of grilled meats so we were invited to stay as normally hosts weren't fed this time round. The evening we were pleased just to snack at home. We'd issued an invitation via Agnes to those who wanted to come for an after dinner drink and despite their 5am start tomorrow 20 folk answered "present and correct". Admittedly people didn't stay much more than an hour but it was good to open up our doors to our visitors as we had done the last time.
