Fete du vin - report in partial fullness

 The old bridge was closed off and the bar at the Pont Cafe opened for the night... Chez Charlie and The Creperie and the new patisserie had their stalls on the bridge and that was where you redeemed your pre-bought meal tickets. Terrifically good - Bob and I had Pomme Dauphinois and Veal something (don't like to use the word 'stew' here ) with a plate  of boudin noir, pate and camembert from Chez Charlie and a perfect creme and abricot cake from the patisserie.

Tita (below) was staffing the creperie stall - apparently the fete crepe featuring a sausage from Chez Charlie, was excellent too. She's done something to her neck but was in good form.
 Gert and Elizabet were on another table - the place was crowded, there were tables arranged outside Jo and Roys and down towards the square and alongside the river to the new bridge. Packed.








 Here's John back from Ireland and as his son pointed out, gone feral - our El, looking fab as ever - below her, Margaret and Kat being decorous. That was early on.

 Andy seems to provoke bad behaviour wherever he is - :) - here are Nel (with Ryan and Etienne) and Pete



 Margaret and fungus, Neil and Kat, below Neil and bride whose name I'm not going to attempt to spell* -

*Late info: She is SORCHA, pronounced Sor-a-h. We  knew that, right??
 Very very hot and as darkness fell the lights came on - then the new moon put in an appearance over the adjacent night market.

There are many more photos but some are actionable and some are very blurred. Apologies to those friends who have been missed off.
Its for your own good.
