Today is the first of two weekends of Pontrieux’s Marchés de Noël. As usual for the time of day and the weather stallholders outnumber punters. Having been here a few years now, I know the French will do all their weekly chores and then pop out about 4 ish. I didn’t realise this in my first year and closed up at 4, desolate at the lack of customers.
My Christmas window display of English tea is causing people to stop and nose so fingers crossed!
Father Christmas is due to take time out from his busy schedule to visit us today, tomorrow and next weekend. Given his busy schedule it was a real coup for t’committee to secure his services. I just hope he’s not a fraud, to check I will speak to him in English, that should flush out any imposter!
