At the cafe under the arcades the beer and absinthe crowd on their third beer of the day. The waitress in her apron with the flashing lights . The motability scooter has tinsel on its handlebars.
The fountain by the war memorial covered in a mountain of foam. Evidence of the rugby clubs midnight swim.
Home to find twenty red headed chaffinches squabbling over yesterdays stale croissants.
A merry Christmas to everybody !
Merry Christmas, Angus! I could get very fat living in France! I love it when you show pictures of food in the stores there.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Angus and 'the font'!
ReplyDeleteI love reading all your posts about your life in France and hope that one day I can read about you having PONs again, too.
My own miniature polar bear Diesel went to Heaven last summer and this is the first Christmas for my new puppy Merlin. It is so nice to see him explore everything with enthusiasm and always positive attitude. Hope you can experience it soon, too.

have around. We're all looking

I must add that I really appreciate all your photos of pastry and cakes. I am quite fanatic about cakes and pies myself and takes lots of pics of them, too. :-P
ReplyDeleteA very Merry Christmas to you and your family!! I love the buche de Noel, but I had to go on currency converter to satisfy my curiosity as to what a Euro is to a Canadian dollar. Oh. However, I'd happily pay as they all look rather delicious!

ReplyDeleteWonderful to read your comment above about the imminent arrival of two PONs!
The fountain looks like Christmas magic! That cake looks fantastic, too! Merry Christmas to you! I hope the holiday serves you well. :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, the Font and your entire family!!!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do you choose just one of such gorgeous looking buches de noel? Or does the Font give you explicit instructions when you go shopping? I get carried away just looking at the photos.
Hope you enjoy all the time spent with your visiting family members, as you embrace each other and share experiences missed.
I hope your day was an enjoyable one--It certainly got off to a good start! *´¨)
