2008-12-25 Chistmas Day 2008

We had a rather unconventional Christmas, there was only us 4 left in Cailho, so we had a CURRY.......all veggie of course, 4 different sorts, and i forgot to do any rice, but we had plenty to eat and plenty for the freezer for those impromptu "Indian take- away's" .
As you can see it was a beautiful day plein soleil .............

2008-12-24 Christmas at Dausse



Although it was tempting, I did not succumb to a drink over Christmas


We were invited to Dausse to eat the last Lotto prize (3 birds, chicken, duck and quinea fowl) before decending to St Etienne to try to win some more!

we had this dinner with 4 other friends of Frederic and Almuth's, Iris, Klaus Ushi and Wolfgang...I hope I have spelt them all correctly!!
