Back from our fantastic fortnight in the UK (despite us both catching the cold/flu that everyone seemed to have) we met up with our Essex boys & girls down at the Starfish as they were leaving next day. We decided to take a 'galette des rois' the traditional dish that is eaten to celebrate the Epiphany. Perhaps not exactly light nibbles to go with a beer or two, but it went down very well anyway!
 |
| Mmmmmm: flaky puff pastry with a frangipane filling |
 |
| The galette has to be divided into exactly the right number of slices as partakers |
 |
| And here were four of them: Cockerney Dave, Vanna, Shan & Simon |
 |
| We're so rich these days that we use notes for napkins! |
 |
| Tine found 'la fève' or small figurine which made her the Queen choosing Cockerney Dave as her King (note the very expensive crown)! |
 |
| Meanwhile Matt in his Mickey Mouse disguise still enjoying Bradford City's defeat of Arsenal. Now howzabout Aston Villa tomorrow? |

Happy New Year to you all in La Tranche. Good to see you enjoying Yorkshire hospitality over the Christmas period, it seems to last a little longer than in France!
How's Matt's nerves holding up as we approach the BIG MATCH tonight? I do hope that Bradford can get a good result to keep the dream alive for the next leg.
Best Wishes
Richard
i trust that Matt is now planning a trip home for the Capital One Cup Final.
Happy New Year from all the Jonesey's in Manchester.
Ferry booked for May and flights for August - can't wait as only had 9 days in July last year.
Love to all Dave and looking forward to a pint in Starfish
Cheers
Simon
Cheers, Richard & Simon. Matt is on his way back to La Tranche now but has his tickets for the return bout at Aston Villa.
Looking forward to a quality-time Summer, lads!
