We celebrated St Sylvestre in true local style mixed with a bit of "the mckays". A feast of fish and sparkling wine (coutesy of M&A): hot and spicy prawns with salad, clamari in a mirepoix sauce, foil roasted cod with smashed roast sweet potato and carrot. Followed by Christmas pudding, custard and brandy cream.
Just before midenight we ventured out and walked down to sqaure by Marsilly church brandishing our glowing disco sticks and ready with our Bon Nouvelle Annees. There and back we saw not a soul, but we did glimpse three halfhearted firework rockets. Even down at the community hall there was little life and signs were that the Fete was a bit of a small do.
Still the walk there and back was probably good for us and it set us up nicely to settle down in front of the tele and let the New Year in again in the company of Jools Hooland and his guests. Two for the price of one and this time toasted in champagne (again courtesy of M&A). HAPPY NEW YEAR
Ma belle soeur et moi had a decent two hour constitutional in the middle of the day but I'm afraid that the rest of the day was lazy and concluded with a dvd viwing of Mamma Mia, a jolly good way to end New Year's day.
