Here we go again: a random assortment around Christmas/New Year.
 |
| A mild winter meant an early appearance of the unpopular but interesting processionary caterpillars... |
 |
| ...and seasonal migrating Canada Geese in beautiful formation. |
 |
| The traditional Christmas meal in France is on 24th December |
 |
| This year we were invited to Matt & Cynthia's, along with C's family |
 |
| A beautiful place setting... |
 |
| ...and two Mamies and a Great-Grandma tucking in! |
(Extra bonus: you can see the inside of M&C's house!)
 |
| We saw clumps of pousse-pieds ('gooseneck barnacles') on a walk on the beach at l'Aiguillon. The tentacles were shifting as in a horror film! They're a sought-after delicacy (but not for me, of course). |
 |
| 27th December and Alfie was happy to find his bunk bed, complete with Christmas stocking left by Father Christmas a couple of days before |
 |
| Queen Betty's already eaten her slice of the Galette des Rois, the traditional dessert for 12th Night, the Feast of the Three Kings. It looks like she found the hidden charm! |
 |
| Alfie dressed for winter weather |
 |
| He's not the fastest walker, too busy inspecting everything en route (as we say in English). Better get home before those shadows turn to night! |
