Epiphany

Et Voila!
Its the epiphany, when the french don't bother to take down
their decorations because they quite like them - or its too cold
to bother - but they eat cake, the galette des rois; seen here in
the bakers in the high street.
Delicious pastry lined with fangipane, or marzipan with added
sugar and yumminess, containing a porcelain statuette. This
you can break a tooth on or swallow, according to preference,
but in either case if you have it in your mouth you must wear
the paper crown that comes with the galette.










Captain was here for the weekend - here he is at
Maries Claudes where we ate Saturday night
and at le Garenau where we walked Lily -lovely.

He will be back next weekend too -
