What, no popcorn?

Our movie day was going well. W’ed already enjoyed the Muppet Christmas Carol and a tasty brekkie. We decided on a change of pace for our next movie, and chose a classic black and white film ‘it’s a wonderful life’.

It has been a while since I’d seen it and I’d certainly forgotten quite how hard hitting I found it in places. That said, it is a beautiful film with some beautiful messages, and one I will still watch again.

Our friends last week brought us some bagels over, something I haven’t been able to buy locally here. I do love a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, so we had bought some smoked salmon from the market on Friday especially. Brian made up the bagels for lunch, accompanied, of course, a bottle of bubbly.

He chose a bottle of Devaux (Cuvee D) from a local producer in Bar-sur-Seine.

For our next viewing, we decided that we would choose a James Bond movie, as it is so typically Christmas for us. We both remember sitting down on Christmas afternoon to watch the James Bond movies on TV. The difficult thing though, was which one.

I’m thinking there will be a few of you out there who can guess which movie it was from the photograph (top left), so before I say, we’ll see if anyone guesses it.

We had thought we’d get to watch 4 movies, but the day had just flown by - we hadn’t even eaten our popcorn. Instead of choosing a movie for our final selection of the day, we put on a Christmas episode of ‘Gordon, Gino and Fred’ from 2017. I know they are a bit ‘Marmite’, you either love them or hate them, but we think they are hilarious.

The day ended on a delicious dessert from ‘Maison Caffet’. Yum!
