April 2013 lunch report and May luncheon

A wonderful turnout for the lunch venue at the Tour de Termes

In all a record 50 ladies sat down to lunch

Our menu was a delicious and unusual mustard soup

followed by the main course of chicken with spicy peppers and rice

and dessert of rich chocolate mousse with orange strips

All prepared and cooked by Boyd and Jetske and ably served by the 
hardworking duo of Paula and Dee.

Whilst coffee was being served we were given an informative, interesting and amusing talk on the history of Termes and the tower by a husband and wife team - Fiona and Olivier. 

Questions were asked on the talk and the answer had to be signified by hands being placed on the head or raised. 

It seems we had all paid attention (or at least followed the lead of the Mayor of Termes) as we got the answers correct (mostly!).

Thank you to Boyd, Jetske, Paul, Dee, Fiona and Olivier for making our lunch such a great success and thanks too to Ginster and Ping for the photos.

Our next lunch on Tuesday 14th May 

will be held at
