Progress Report

How was it for you?

1 January 20211 January 2021 by Gordon Frickers

Here 2021 in France is so far very good. How was it for you on this first day of the new year ?

A ‘French’ lunch, 13.30 to 18.30 with Anglo French foods and very French wines, so I suppose that is a success

As several of our friends where not available for the 31st of ‘that year 2***’,

In consultation with my English neighbour Matt who insisted upon marking the occasion, we opted for a new year mini fete on the first, my house being the venue.

“Word of Mouth“, a Nelson and Trafalgar painting well worth the price and more as an “after dinner” subject.

The Royal Navy’s most famous schooner HMS Pickle, described by Nelson as “ubiquitous”, is according to Cornish oral tradition sailing into legend.
