France 2015 Day 27:

Last night's dinner:

Paupiettes de veau pus creamed spinach

Raspberry and apricot tart

Last night's after dinner entertainment:

These boys seemed to make things up as they went along.

It was part music part song and .....

part oration. They were tremendous.

Usual bar entertainment.

And then these three maniacs.

Excellent.

And when we got home afterwards:

An episode of Maigret on TV with this locomotive as part of the action.

Last attempt to find an H0 scale model car or train at a Vide Grenier:

This one was held in nearby village of Tosse

In the UK there would be Badminton markings - here it's an indoor Pelote court.

Some interesting items - this was a ceramic parachute and clown - weighed a ton.

Wrong scale, unfortunately.

Charming tin-plate 2cv.

Alas, a clockwork H0 scale train set by Jouef.

We should have this arrangement in the UK.

Most convenient.

In the car park a real find.

A Renault Caravelle....wrong scale, unfortunately.

And kids mucking about on the Pelote court.

Currently listening to:

The soundtrack to my life these days:

Podcasts by Optimo or Huntleys and Palmers

Just started reading:

I think I'm going to enjoy this.
