Tim, Sue and the children left today, so we popped into Nîmes last night for a farewell dinner. The restaurant we chose was just next to the arène and inside were 20,000 people shouting, screaming and watching Jeux sans Frontiere between Nîmes and Marseille. The noise was deafening but entertaining as each team scored points over the other. It was also being shown on television in the bar so the children, who had never seen the original shows, could follow events. Yet another of the many delightful surprises that living here brings and an interesting end to the childrens holiday.
