A couple of weeks ago we attended the Annual General meeting of la Traction Universelle, the Citroen classic car club that we have belonged to for 15 years. We haven't been to any meetings or events for the past couple of years, but we stay in contact with several of the members. It was lovely to be so warmly greeted when we arrived at the Best Western Hotel in Loches and we had a great time catching up with Elisabeth and Gilles, Bernadette and Jean-Pierre, Bénédicte and Jean-Marc, and Suzanne and Jean-Louis especially. I sat next to Gilles at lunch and he shared some sad family news, and some rather hair-raising stories of what had been happening at his family run print works recently.
Coffee at the end of the meal.
The dessert of orange, chocolate and hazelnut.

The menu. A glass of dry white sparkling local wine or a pear and apple juice to start. Then smoked trout followed by chicken.

It sounds like a really nice event. It does you good to do things like that every so often. I
have eaten there twice and it was very good. Must go again and take Nick with me!
I was very touched by how welcomed we were.
