Joyeux Noel!!
... e and there wasn’t a scrap left by anyone! The Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve meals here are the most important and whilst they often have turkey, it is not with the vast quantities of veg and heavy accompaniments that we have. They do like to splash out and treat themselves to things that they wouldn’t normally have though such as sea food, especially oysters, foie gras, snails and Yule Log.

We already know that this is where we want to be for the foreseeable future. Each day the view takes our breath away and we experience something new.

Just need to sell some property in the UK and all will be ...
