French Night at the Cherington Arms

As you can see there were some traditional French men and some very chic Parisian ladies, some complete with their little dogs (and I’m not referring to husbands here). We were also graced by a visit from Marie Antoinette (complete with Cake for distributions to the peasants) and of course her husband Louis XV. Some of the pictures reflect the homebound state of one or two of the attendees. A good time the was had by one and all and we must of course express our thanks to Hilary and Nick for the magnificent French menu.

See you all at the next one!
