Happy New Year! Here's hoping that 2008 brings health and happiness to all our friends and family (and that some of you come and visit us, but not all at once!).
New Year's Eve was the foggiest yet, a real pea-souper, as my Mum used to say! I had to post the first photo just to show that a pheasant flew into the garden and seemed to enjoy pecking away under the apple tree for quite some time. Also note the thrush pecking at the ball of fat in the cherry tree.

We celebrated the New Year at Jean-Pierre & Catherine's along with Jean & Monique, Colette and Marraine. We had a superb evening over-indulging (for a change). Tine supplied us all with party hats, streamers, blowers and pea-shooters - the best game was aiming for a range of copper pans above the kitchen counter! We eventually walked home in the even thicker fog and took to bed at about 2.30 am.

Thankfully next morning was clear blue - we were dreading the fiasco of Phil's departure - and Nadine arrived bang on time at La Rochelle airport. After quickly saying 'hi' to the sea by the jetty we arrived home to find Père Noël had visited AGAIN leaving a Christmas stocking for Nadine and more presents for us all! Tine did us a lovely Christmas Dinner and we had an early night.

This morning it's cold and overcast. The girls are going to venture to Super U then I think we will wander along the beach for Nadine to see what the heavy seas have been up to!
