L'administration and celebrations!
... my training and successful application for a license, I arranged to visit Herve Joris, the Director of the Association for Chambres D'Hotes de Grand Tourmalet. He and his French wife, born to an English father and French mother, run a B & B in Bagneres and understanding the forthcoming changes to legislation have decided to pull all the B & Bs in the area together to ensure we are ready for the changes.

I had the results for my website from Google last week and it appears to be successful with hits ...
Joyeux Noel!!
... and I am a bit nervous as I want the cooking to be good. However, having had the practice during the summer with the B & B, I have a good idea of what they like. In many ways they are easier than the British because they eat everything and are quite happy for the children aged 5 to 14 to all sleep together and eat with the adults. Before Jeanne and Denis left to go back to Bordeaux, I had the whole family round for bangers and mash followed by ...
