Let the feast commence.
The group were really good.

our neighbours Marie & Patrick - he thinks she's had enough.
third one back is the mayor of our village.

The mayor and his wife need a dance after all that rolling around on
the floor.
Closer now...

Alain.
The band must have hotted up the tempo.
Patrick's turn for a dance now..
