We are in a celebratory mood as it is 2 years to the day since we left the UK to live in France. It has gone so fast and we have done so much - just wish the French had come on a little better!
Today we are at the Rugby in Marseille with friends Steve & Connie to see the France v Georgia match. There is a crowd of just under 60,000,all good natured and of course before any afternoon activity every french man must have his lunch! Note the menu and interesting English translations!
This is Steve tucking his Starter rather glamorously called a seafood shandy! The French menu's are far more appealing.
The Velodrome stadium has quite an impressive backdrop.
Fans go to all sorts of lengths to show their support
And this most be the most bizarre thing I have ever seen at a sporting match! The French mascot is a Cockerel so these guys bought a live one with them - it was perfectly behaved and as far as we know was not eaten!Why they were dressed as they were we shall never know! takes all sorts!Can you imagine getting through security at Wembley.
And despite the fact that all the beer served was ALCOHOL FREE! everyone had a great time - helped I am sure by the win 64 to 7!
