The ShropMog teams met up on Friday evening in our splendid accommodation at Chateaux de Saulty, just South West of Arras. Jayne and Simon were travelling back from Switzerland and the others had come from the UK that day. |
Saturday started with breakfast in the Chateaux. The large coffee bowls provided some entertainment, especially for those drinking tea and Jayne who started using hers as a plate, much to the horror and amazement of the lady running the Chateaux! |
