Mercredi le 19 novembre- VISITORS!!!!!

The War Memorial outside the Gare

All the wreaths for Armistice day 11-11

Everyone sleeps well on a Wednesday morning –very quiet and dark. Maybe once I get home I will put in blackout curtains so the girls sleep later!
I went down to the college again to try and collect the letter – but the secretary doesn’t work today and the other secretary wouldn’t even peek and look for it. Everyone is so bureaucratic and ridiculously pompous!
An exciting day ahead as we get to go the Gare and meet some New Zealand guests!!!! Wahoo! Friends of ours –Kerry and Sandra are off exploring the world and detoured slightly to come and see us for a couple of days – How lucky! They were in London and en route to Venice, you can train all the way direct via us!
It was so amazing to see some familiar faces and Nev was stoked he could talk to someone else! I also don’t think we will be meeting anyone else at the Gare or have people meeting us so was definitely a novelty! Seph just couldn’t stop talking, busy telling them all about everything and pointing out all the differences. No one else could speak!
We trundled them back to our place and with a bit of juggling fitted everyone in! We kept the blinds down so that no one would know we had a couple of guests for a couple of nights.

All squished into kitchen!

We then walked into town and had a quick look around – a drink in the closest thing we have to a typical pub, found somewhere for tea and then headed home for a rather late night – 1:45am! A few empty bottles of very cheap wine and some beer….I think we spent no more than €8 total!
