new years eve 2006/2007

Phew, where to start - we live in a tiny hamlet that is attached to a small village that is attached to a commune. I reckon we have one of the busiest communes around, with several 'societies' actively engaged in entertainment. We also have a great group of both French and English friends.

We have car boot sales, jumble sales, theatre nights, several organised meals including the best one of the year at the end of the hunting season. Its easier if I start with 2007, and list them as we go!





News years eve 31st December 2006.










We started at 7pm around a friends house for appero's, then at 8pm we trundles off (all15 of us) in convoy to a local village hall for the celebrations. There was a great disco who played everything - traditional French folk music, rock and roll, house, everything. It all got too much for Gerrard (cotton wool in his ears!) see below!
