The Scots are Coming

Some last minute preparations and we were ready to go and meet Andy and Maureen off the on-time train from Paris. They had been there to watch the arrival of the "Tour de France"as a treat for Andy's birthday. It was a Brit, Chris Frome  (born in Kenya, trained in South Africa!) who won.
Once they'd settled in, there was time to wander around the village, visit the exhibition in the Mairie and admire all the changes that have taken place since their last visit.
In the evening we were invited to Martine's to help celebrate David's (also a Scot) birthady. She'd gone to a lot of trouble to make a super meal which included a scrummy chocolate cake. There was talk of the royal baby and a couple of difficult moments when the conversation turned to politics but I'm pleased to say that there was no blood spilt on the patio and all were agreed that Martine was a great hostess.
