It's six months today since Christian went off to that great oil platform in the sky so it was good to hava a busy day. First there was an Moroccan breakfast in the square in aid of the Téléthon. The two Nicole's came along as well and once again we stayed on for steak and chips. Rushed home afterwards to bake some biscuits for the Swedish afternoon we were attending to celebrate St Lucia. There was mulled wine, good things to eat, songs sung by lovely young women wearing winter white, tinsel and one with a crown of candles. All very ethereal. The little ones were solemn with all the responsibility and just a delight .

There was even the nationally known pop star, Cali who was there in a private capacity. The link below is in French but at the moment on the home page features a song "On ne se lâchera pas la main" written in response to the attack on Le Bataclan concert venue.

Weather:
