Happy New Year

Happy new year to everyone.Its new years eve here and I just loaded some shots that Georgia took of Lola in July after a hot day at the beach, so heres a taste of some of them.Had some good waves this morning at Anglet and i'm gonna check Seignosse again later for a high tide session soon.Should be ok 5-6ft and quite clean conditions

Merry Christmas everyone.

It was a merrry xmas here with 13 of us for dinner on Xmas eve.All except 2 stayed the night and we wrapped it up about 3am after a big night with plenty of good food and plenty of good wine to match.I cooked a big leg of lamb and a Chapon which is a castrated rooster bred and fed up for festive occasions.3 kgs of amazingly tasty,tender,juicy poultry like ive never tasted before,surely a treat!We started with some oven baked nibblys and then the traditional oyster starter and smoked salmon to follow .We opted not to serve the foie gras as we were running behind and the main course was ready.Some sensational cheeses followed and then finished off with some delicious French patisseries and the ice cream log.OOHHHH!!!!5 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of White wine and 5 bootles of red.Not bad considering 4 werent drinking.A great night was had by all
Lola received lots of presents and was surely rewarded for the excellent results that she received at school.Well done for a great year Lola.And well done to myself and Corinne for a successful night!

Snow!

I was right.It did snow overnight,not much but it has just started again and its coming down quite thick

Lolas concert

Our Indian smmer is over!!!!!

Its going to snow, I can feel it in my bones.Its snowing everywhere else in France and it could snow here by Saturday.It is very cold, with days this week not getting above 2° or 3°.BBrrrrrr!!!!!Beautiful still clear days,so at least its not rainy and windy with the cold.We should be back up to double figures by Christmas,hopefully!

We had some solid waves last week 8-10 ft at la nord(the north).Perfect and not toocold.Iput a couple of shots on but they dont do it justice as it was much better and bigger than it looks with the camera zoomed in so far.

The poele has been burning non stop and we have even been cooking on it.

Lola had her christmas concert in the church at St. Vincent de Tyrosse on friday night.

Yahoo! Ive finished painting the walls and ceiling in the main room.Next is the woodwork, windows,doors etc.
