Wrapping Up For Christmas

Listening to: Christmas Mix



So the year is beginning to come to an end, and Christmas is on its way!
Besançon town centre is beautiful, the streets are all lit up and little roast chestnut stalls are popping up everywhere. 

We've got a very busy few weeks coming up, what with the girls' exhibition and lots of Christmassy events! We've had trips to local Christmas markets, and sampled just a few *ahem* cups of hot spiced wine. 
We visited Dijon the other day with Alison and Emma. So strange to see it all dressed for winter! I've visited Dijon so many times throughout my life, its now become a family favourite! But I've never been in the winter before. Still beautiful though!

We were invited by Rosalind to have a tour of another collage she teaches at. It's actually a cheese making collage, where some study to make cheese, and others the scientific research.
It was so interesting to see such a different kind of collage. The students were all friendly and hospitable and we've made some good friends there. Plus were were given free samples of Comte, so I aint complaining!

In our last week we had a big Raclette party at the Beaux Art, and invited all our friends. It was so interesting to have a room full of international students all sharing a meal and wine together.Perfect

Attached are the photos from the girls' exhibition.
Joyeux Noël and have a Bonne Année!
