Katharine C and Maggie: AWG's main holiday event at Linda's

Photo credits:  Katharine C and Maggie

A crisp and sunny December day greeted us in Poussan.  Some of us were able to take a short walk amongst  the vines before lunch.   But as Anne pointed out - plenty of vines but nothing to drink.  On to Linda's for a champagne greeting!

Linda and Christophe made us all feel most welcome.  Linda had set the table inside, where we were bathed in sun.

Desserts as ever were bountiful and scrumptious

Happy Christmas AWG (Cerese and Susan Rey had joined us here)

Many thanks to Christophe for taking the group photo above (and for allowing us to invade his home at lunchtime).   Linda and Christophe - thank you so much for hosting this fun event. K.

A beautiful sunny winter day in the warmth of a beautiful Languedoc house, with a beautiful reindeer-like hostess, and a wonderful, if small, group of AWG members for this year's holiday luncheon.  Many, many thanks to Linda for once again opening her house and her kitchen to us.  The food was fantastic, and the champagne apéro was a treat.
 
It was Human Rights Day, and the last day of the 16-Days Campaign Against Gender Inequality, so while we were enjoying the fiendishly delicious desserts, we watched a 10 minute video produced by UN Women which gives an overview and highlights the UN’s work on the issue of human rights for women in several countries. You can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co3-Uech1Fc . 

Special thanks to Christoph for, among other things, setting up the video and taking the group photos.  Happy Holidays to all.  See you next year. - m.
