Chenevaux Golf Day

Many thanks to everybody who came along to take part in the Chenevaux Golf Tournament on Saturday 25th June.  It was great to see you all and everybody had a round despite the heat.  I think its safe to say that everybody enjoyed the food and wine too and if there had been a competition for the person who talked the most it would have been impossible to decide on a winner!   Mike, who won the lst tournament, kindly handed back the trophy to Mark for the presentation. Winner of the longest ball competition was Roy, and the overall winner was Dave.  Hurrah!

 

All a bit fishy

Bonjour Chenevaux Blogreaders!
Today it is the Fete de la Gartempe - which is the river that our village, St Pierre de Maille is on.  It is also Fete des Peres today so lots of activities to attract the men!  Of particular note, the selection of vintage tractors, the fishing competition and a beer tent.  There is also a display of model ships, a blacksmith making wrought metal work, goats (2), and Mark with his pots and an easel!  I must remember to get him a beret and stripey t-shirt to complete the look.

Ready, Steady, Golf

For the past 4 years we have held the Chenevaux Boxing Day Golf Tournament.  Mostly the weather has been cold but with generous amounts of mulled wine on offer we managed to get everyone out playing.  Boxing Day 2010 proved to be one weather element too far, not only was it perishingly cold but we couldn't see the golf balls.  So we resorted to creating snowballs on sticks which Mark called a snow sculpture and I called time to go in and sit by the fire.  Hopefully the rescheduled date of June 25th will be warmer!
