Up to Chateau Rushton for lunch yesterday with John and Clare, Jo and Donald and a marvellous view of the snow-clad mountains. France is having a cold snap which we are hoping will shortly push off.
John is absent from the picture as he was cooking - roast beef and horseradish sauce, followed by the more traditional Galette des Rois. In case you're not from these parts allow me to explain that the Galette des Rois is a pastry and frangipane cake eaten between now and the epiphany which contains a ' la feve' - a bean- these days signified by a little porcelain figure of some cultural merit. The one who gets the bean gets to wear the paper crown and be king.
Bob won!
