Sunday 21st December and Papa Noel is here.
This is an enjoyable, free, annual community event which, this year, is held in and around a small marquee on the car park by the post office.
For the children - Papa Noel hands out sweets, there is a horse and cart to take children around the town, a docile donkey and games in the marquee, the most popular one being noisily knocking tin cans from a shelf.
For the adults - a chance to meet and chat over hot wine, coffee, cake and hot chestnuts.

The children leave notes and pictures on the tree for Papa Noel.
The man in charge of the "tins" stall spends most of his time picking up and replacing tin cans on the shelf! The children's aim is good!!
Hot wine, coffee, cakes and biscuits served efficiently and cheerfully here.
The horse is patient and enjoys being petted...
...and the docile donkey, who has two young ladies for company, is sweet...
...although a nearby dog objects to the disturbance to his normally quiet Sunday morning!
Hot chestnuts cooking on the barbecue
while Ron and Jackie put the world to rights!
Mu husband, Ron, la belle Arlette and her husband, Jacques (our doctor and town mayor) looking very happy and ready for Christmas.
The event is a very sociable one and we all wish one another a Bon Noel.
Thanks and congratulations to the Town Council for an enjoyable morning.
