We hope you've all had a very happy Christmas. We did!
Sorry we've been a bit quiet for the last few weeks, there has been lots going on here in the lead up to Christmas. Thank you to all our customers over the last year, we hope you are enjoying your little piece of France.
On a recent road trip we stopped at a road-side café for lunch & the bar area was mostly taken up with this elaborate display of a winter wonderland...
Remember back in the summer, we took you on a tour of Sarlat, (see post). We thought we would go back there to visit the Christmas market & see the lights. As luck would have it, the market wasn't open the day we went but we have managed to capture some of the lights.
There was a Chinese theme this year (we're not sure why!), many of the decorations
& shops displays reflected this.
This is a temple shrine at the beginning of the Christmas market, very colourful but not very Christmassy...
...& the post box for letters to Père Noël was quite frightening!
This is one of the oldest houses in Sarlat with a lovely arched passage-way.
This was decorated with a wonderful garland...
The church looked especially magical lit up...
...& this little restaurant looked inviting but unfortunately was closed...
Sarlat looked so beautiful just bathed in street lights and decorations...
...& lastly, as usual, we couldn't resist the wonderful display in the chocolate shop!

We had some wonderful news to share with you...Kelly is expecting a baby in April! Unfortunately, she has had terrible morning sickness combined with a nasty stomach bug so had been feeling pretty rotten up to now.
Hopefully, she is over all that & can start to enjoy her pregnancy.
Kelly & I would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy & prosperous New Year.
