Music School Dinner.

On Saturday the 24th April we went to the Castandet Music School dinner. It is surprising that such a small village has such a group but I believe that it is very well supported and that many of the children in the area learn to play an instrument. We went to the event last year and several of the children showed off their talents. Sadly, this year, there was no concert. The event was advertised to start from 7pm but, having learned from past events, we went at about 7.45. On arriving at the village hall we saw that there were only a few cars there so we came back home for a while! We got there, again, about 8.45 and ordered an aperitif. Then several of our neighbours arrived and we finally got the chance to buy them an aperitif. It seems that on many occasions we have not been able to do so as they are all very generous. We sat down to eat, at beautifully decorated tables, at about 9.30. We were sitting on a table with our immediate neighbours and several other people from our part of the village. As usual we had a very copious meal, Tourrrin, which is a popular tomato type soup, daube de taurau (bull stew) cheese and green salad and creme caramel. Another pleasant village evening.
