Lidl time

Do you know Lidl? The brother chain of Aldi 

(who also owns Trader Joe's), we have both here in France. 

Anyways, they came out with their own "clothing" line recently.

 We bought Seb the sport socks for Christmas (gag gift) but the rest are just to darn bling bling for us to consider buying or wearing. Apparently, there's a whole black market that goes on with this stuff, trading on the internet at crazy prices etc. 

Who knew.....

Holiday time

 

Finger food for New Year's Eve

Christmas Cake, better than it looks

Oysters, shrimp, crab legs and not pictured, razor clams.

Happy New Year

church time

  I teach my English class in this town and wandered in one night before class. 

The Basilica of Douvres la Délivrande originally from 1422. 

Not sure if you can tell by this photo, but it's a black Virgin Mary. 

Don't know the history of this staute, but she goes on a procession throughout 

the town every year at the end of August.
