Au Revoir 2010

Those who know me will know that I’m not the most enthusiastic person on the 31^st of December. The whole ‘we must have fun’ mantra bugs me and I end up a right miserable sod. However, this 31^st of December would see us saying goodbye to not only 2010 but also our French vet Anais, who had been with us for just under a year. This year has seen quite an influx of frenchies and Anais would be the last to leave. In honour of Anais and her fellow stripy jumper wearing, baguette obsessed countrymen I put myself up to be in charge of organising a New Years party and decided it would have a French theme.

I turned the visitor centre into little Paris complete with Eifel Tower and designed a version of the game ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’. In my version you had to ‘Accessorise the Frenchie’ - which Frenchie? Why Gerard Depardieu of course! The game involved being blindfolded and attaching all kinds of French accessories to Gerard, things such as red wine, cheese, a dodgy moustache, a dodgy beard, a beret and not to forget the Baguette!

I was of course DJ extraordinaire and a great time was had by all, especially as we had a surprise visit from Cheri of Morkel Metre fame and her boyfriend and past volunteer Little Matt. Kate looked very ‘ooh la la’ in her stripy black dress and I looked extremely dashing in my French nobleman attire, as I’m sure you’ll agree!

Au Revoir Anais, we miss you enormously and I am now extremely sad not having any Frenchies around to play with :(

Good luck for the future and always remember my words of wisdom: J'habite à la maison avec un sandwich au jambon!
