Hot wine, village folk and a BANQUET with silly games

After the wedding, to the salle des fêtes for hot wine and apéros. We needed the hot wine (hot anything, really!, it was REALLY COLD), my cough had returned and Pat's front tooth had shot out during the second verse of Amazing Grace.
The folk of Grendelbruch are charming.
The French are all so NICE !
Then to the camp centre for the meal:

More apéros (Valse de bulles et ses amuses-bouches)
Seafood starters : lobster, crayfish, raw fish of many kinds, asparagus, mange-tout and haricots verts.(Entre embruns et terroir)
A sorbet to cleanse the palate. (Iceberg Alsacien)
Guinea-fowl with morels, potatoes and carrot mousse. (Gigolette de pintade aux morilles et sa garniture)
Cheeses galore (Senteurs de France et sa panaché de verdure)
Desserts of many kinds.(Farandole de gourmandises)
Fruit juices to finish (Elixir de nuit)

All interspersed with games, little speeches, songs and dancing.
Ben seems to attract nutters. I pointed this out to him.
He didn't deny it but just said "and what does that imply about you?"
I have no idea what he meant.

Had some nice and useful conversations with various folk, interspersed with coughing, then we coughed our way to bed.

I am so aware that for almost all of these people this was their first time to hear Christ preached.
For some of them their reaction showed it.
What a privilege ! Such a treasure in jars of coughing clay.
