Boxing Day
In France Boxing Day is not celebrated and all is back to normal. I was woken at 8.30 by Steve brandishing the phone and asking me to call the golf course and see if they could have a game. I rang and booked them in for 9.30. We arranged to meet up at the Chinese restaurant in Mont de Marsan at 1pm. A lazy morning for the rest of us and then off into town. The Chinese does a wonderful 4 course buffet, as much as one can eat for 12 euros each. Jason particularly did justice to it and the rest of us did our best! Afterwards Nigel came back home and I went with the others. We went through town and out to the "cave" to fill up the wine container which surprisingly was empty!! 10 litres of vin de table for just under 10 euros. Then on to Leclerc where they wanted to buy wine and supplies to take back with them. On the way back we stopped off at Lily and Arthurs as they wanted to see her garden. Back home about 6 and a lazy evening with only nibbles for supper after the big lunch.
