Kergudon Cinema – the ideal place to see sporting disappointment!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li> Kergudon Cinema – the ideal place to see sporting disappointment!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Long, and controversial, story short, Verstappen won and, for now at least, has become Champion.\u00a0 This we can accept but, unfortunately, not for the first time this season, the result was effectively decided by decisions made by the, supposedly, neutral race director and the stewards who, for the second half of the season after their summer break, have made some pretty inexplicable calls.\u00a0 There maybe more fall out from today\u2019s race and we will watch next season with as much enthusiasm, but right now we\u2019re feeling a little deflated.\u00a0 At least the cinema made the disappointment good to watch on a big screen and is available to any of our guests for movie nights or sporting events (if on UK terrestrial TV!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The week\u2019s activities have been somewhat restricted by the weather again although, as Storm Arwen, we had minimal impact from Storm Barra and although the winds were blustery we had nowhere near the impact of other areas. What we did have was quite a lot of rain that kept me indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I did complete, in preparation for our Priory Christmas guests arriving this morning, was decorating the g\u00eete. Each year the decorations are getting bigger and bigger and so are taking longer and longer to do \u2013 not helped by me nearly giving myself concussion banging my head in the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decorations did therefore take best part of a week but they look suitably festive and our guests love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this year\u2019s kitchen garland I channelled my inner Kirstie Allsopp and did a bit of spray painting and glitter applying to various nuts and pine cones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main highlight however, is a new Christmas tree we have bought for the lounge.\u00a0 The tree we have used up to now was just over 2 metres tall, which was lovely but you couldn\u2019t see it from the mezzanine level so we have bought a taller one!\u00a0 The challenge was finding a tree that was suitably tall, we have settled on a 3-metre one, that wasn\u2019t so wide at the base that it wouldn\u2019t fit in the lounge.\u00a0 Having put it up David suggested we should buy a second 3-metre tree and incorporate the sections so we have something taller but no wider \u2013 we\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a taller tree we needed more baubles, tinsel and ornaments and a step ladder to decorate.\u00a0 The finished result looks stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continued our circuit of Christmas markets and returned to Pleyben today.\u00a0 The last Pleyben visit, 2 weeks ago, was an artisanal fair, today\u2019s was marketed as a Christmas fair with a focus on food and drink.\u00a0 Despite having been to 7 fairs in the last couple of weeks, again there were very few stalls and craftspeople we had seen before. This one had attracted food producers from much further afield including from the near the Pyrenees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
