December Trip

Each year at the beginning of December, there is a Christmas market in St Emilion.  This is not your typical German Christmas market, but one with lots of craft stalls - things made out of old wine barrels, or chopping boards made with local wood.  A lot of charming stuff.

We went again this year, and had a fantastic time.  The weather was beautiful - at the start it was frosty in the mornings, with clear blue skies.  It got warmer, but not before I was able to take a few frosty photos. 

We met the plumber to discuss the plans for refurbishing the bathroom downstairs.  It is likely that will all be done at Easter next year.

Since returning, we have just bought a new table and chair set for the terrace.  The existing ones are looking a little shabby - they have lasted eight years, and have done well; however, this time we have bought a good quality solid table, with some comfortable chairs.  This one will last much longer!

Next post will probably (hopefully) be some before and after photos of the new bathroom!
