24 June 2009 - Luchon

The day started off well as we received the news we've been wanting to hear for months, that Dean has got his redundancy from BT! After 19 years of work, we decided to mark the occasion by going out for lunch. We dressed smartly (well, smarter than we normally are but still scruffier than when we were at home) and walked into the village. It is quite large and there are some beautiful areas of it, along with the thermal baths.

The village is festooned with lovely flower arrangements, and their roundabouts are works of art!



We chose a smart looking restaurant and sat at a table outside so we could watch the world go by. Angela wasn't quite sure what she ordered, but it turned out she hadn't ordered enough...only a starter! So she had to watch Dean enjoy a lovely plate of steak.
The dessert of Creme Caramel finished off the meal, washed down with the rest of the wine followed by coffee...not the one we ordered! It's a very chilled out affair as they seem to be in no hurry to get rid of you, although the waiter did remind us of Jack out of Will & Grace!
It was a real treat for us as we don't normally eat out, and then we mooched around the lovely independent shops. Dean got himself a T-shirt and we bought a load of postcards so watch this space...
