Bonne Annee

I'm sorry. It has been nearly a month since I last posted and I have been lax and not updated. We left the bar with puddles on the floor and thankfully whilst scooter man is still drinking, he is managing to keep it in and release somewhere else. It did however lead me to investigate urinals. I guess this the downside of having a) the internet and b) time to read it. I found out that the base of a urinal should be 600mm from the floor "for optimum usage". Ours is set at 750mm so we are asking the french version of bob the builder to resite it lower. In reality I dont think it will make any difference to our man as the puddles are left nowhere near the urinal!!

 Business wise, we have been open throughout Christmas and New Year. It is a quieter period for us as a large number of our British clients go away for Xmas, either to their families in the UK or to warmer parts of Europe. ( hint to kids...these people are invited to their children's homes and put up, fed and watered, for a month or so over the Christmas period...all in exchange for a couple of hours baby sitting and a few bottles of Lidl's best red....)

 On New Year's Eve we had a British table at the Village Revillion.

As reported at this time last year the food and wine was excellent and plentiful. Jeanne won the sweepstake for correctly guessing the time that coffee would be served. The event started at 8pm and J won with a guess of 02.15am! ( this guess was made when all of the glasses in front of her were still empty) I must however, take this opportunity to apologise for the lack of tact shown by some members of our party. We live in a poor part of France and a number of the people at the meal with have saved a long time to get together the €104 a couple for the tickets. To show off wealth in the way below was a little tactless and I hope they forgive us and allow us back next year.

Bonne Annee Happy New Year to all readers and I promise I will be back quicker next time
