well, to show support to our neighbours granchildrens school, we went to our 2nd fete supporting this worthy cause -
We arrived at 19.45, and drank apperros til 21.30 - obviously drank far too much, then it was wine time - a carafe of vin ordinare on the table which was perfectly drinkable, but in fine French tradition we bought a couple of extra good bottles for good measure (well, it supports the kids).
The meal itself was a Moroccan affair, with couscous, lamb, spicy veggies, lamb hearts, saussice, prunes all sorts - very yummy - a salad to start, with cheese and apple tart after - great!
There must have been a million kids upto about 12 years old there, but most were under 8's. On the hole very well behaved, a few tears but how much noise can kids make! They will sleep well today - most didn't leave until well after midnight and then we had to put the clocks forward too!
Cost of this supper - a measly 12 € each, including the ordinary wine!
really good value indeed!

That's one thing I miss now that Alex is at College. We used to get a heads-up on things like that. BTW is neighbour François the caretaker at the College at Mareuil?
