Let's Party!

Wednesday was party night. Yoda had invited all of his friends to a BBQ to say goodbye. This amounted to about 25 in all (what with relatives and hangers-on).

As part of the preparations Sue gave Carla a quick 'French' cooking lesson. (We'd seen photos of Carla and Guy having cooking lessons in Korea)

We set up the tables and chairs on a flat bit of the front garden next to the porcherie and were all ready awaiting the arrival of the first guests when we were visited by a delegation from the organising committee of St Germain's fete.

We were duly celebrated by the accordianist and given a present of a jar of honey and a paper flower! At that moment, Yoda's friends started to arrive.

Having lit the 2 barbeques at about 6.30 it became difficult to greet, entertain, supply drinks and cook all at the same time. Thankfully, among the last guests to arrive was Jean-Luc who happened to be a chef! So it was my turn to be given a cooking lesson, albeit mine was just how to cook on a BBQ!

So, whilst the meal was a little late in getting going (but it is France), everyone enjoyed themselves. The 'french' table became a bit noisy but we were part of it and so perhaps didn't notice!!!!

Yesterday we all went to Toulouse for the day, and tonight it is the village Fete. Added to that, we've had another load of chippings delivered, so we've got to pace ourselves so that we last the course!
