Christmas Day 2007.....

2007-12-17 Putting up the Xmas lights

Dave got some "HELP" putting up the lights !!!

2007-12-15 Snow in Cailho

It snowed the day we had lunch with Pierre and Amelle


So we drove back down the mountain over untouched snow!

it was absolutely stunning, still snowing and deadly silent......spooky!

Dave ventured out later to take this after it had stopped snowing

2007-12-12 Frederic Almuth & English Beer Barrel

Frederic and Almuth collect Beer Barrels

When we were in UK for my 50th birthday, we we told by Dave's brother that Butcombe are now selling their beer in 5 litre barrels , these are the size F & A collect and have NEVER had an English one in their 204 barrel collection . so we drank and signed one (which is the done thing) at my party, and brought a full one home on the plane !! So now they have 2 types of Butcombe beer in the collection, the bitter (as pictured) and the Gold which we drank later this day with Roger and Cheryl.
