It's been a while since we posted any new blogs. The main reason is that our internet has been out of action for over a week. (Don't get me started on Orange and it's abysmal customer service!)
We are back on line now and can bring you up to date on activities in Le Breuil.
Last Sunday we held a Jubilee tea for our friends and neighbours in the hamlet. We weren't sure how the Jubilee was being received in France, but apparently we needn't have worried. We had about 30 people willing to try a typical English tea - including tea with milk! We imported Pork pies courtesy of Gaynor B who arrived in Le Petit Pressigny on Saturday evening, and I baked cheese scones and lots of little cakes. John decided we had to have trifles, so we made individual ones which turned out quite well.
We had the marquee up just in case, but the weather was kind to us and everyone turned out for the requisite 4pm start. It was a lovely afternoon and we have some really good photos to remember the event by - including this lovely group photo of the participants. We have been presented with a framed copy which we will take back to the UK to hang as a reminder of a lovely afternoon with our friends in Le Breuil.
Looks like a great event and one which will be remembered!
ReplyDeleteWhere else in France would you get sandwiches, pork pie, cakes and trifles!
We are unlucky enough (or foolish) to be with Orange in France and the UK. There's not much choice in France but plenty in the UK!
