Cassis Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 There seem to be a lot of Brits who live in France going to Blighty for Xmas - we started having them at the beginning of the month and the last of our returnees passed through yesterday. Tonight and tomorrow we've got Brits coming over to visit rellies here, so it's a 2-way traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Going the other way, UK to France as self and daughter are invited to spend Christmas with French friends between Lyon and Chambery. Bizarrely, over the many (many) years I have been visiting and sometimes lived in France, I have never spent a *French* Christmas in a French family. Apparently we are *not* having turkey :-(Mind you, if the fog keeps up, we shall still never know a French Christmas - and we shall have to chomp our way through a lot of smoked salmon and bacon (our contribution)!Angela EDIT PSMy goodness, Cassis. I hadn't noticed how many b*lls you have under your name! Or are they just a Christmas decoration ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yes - my baubles are a Xmas Special. [:D]Our guests en route to the south of France from Yorkshire arrived an hour or so ago - poor things have been up since 2.00am today. [:(] Mr said he had never before seen fog like today in Yorkshire.But they are settled in now and having an early night after a cuppa and plate of biccies, ready for a 7.00am start tomorrow (another 6 hrs drive ahead of them, apparently).

Pip Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Spending my first Christmas day off in four years at home in Devon. We have fourteen (including my three grandchildren) people for Christmas lunch [:'(] It's been a while since we've all been under the same roof at the same time so I'm really excited. Back to work boxing day - if I survive [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
