I hope everyone had a good summer and is now back into the swing of the rentrée. The early mornings for school runs don't get any easier!

I've just posted the review for our latest outing; a well attended dinner at the Kanimambo in Gouvieux. Thanks again to all those who came along - whilst most would agree the food was 'ok' it was a great occasion to meet people you might not have seen for a while and for some new faces to meet some people too. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, judging by the fact that we had to be 'ejected' at closing time!

I am always on the lookout for new restaurants to try so if you have a favourite somewhere that you'd like to share with the wider community please do let me know. Whilst it takes a little organising it is worth it, especially when everyone gets to try somewhere they might not have gone to otherwise! On that note I don't have anywhere in mind for an outing in October - it should ideally be somewhere away from Chantilly so if you'd like to step up to the plate please let me know. It could well be that with vacances at the end of the month we don't get anything arranged - so who fancies sorting November?

On a final note - we are keen to organise a Christmas 'do' for Home & Away. Initial plans seem to be to have a dress-up dinner at a local Chateau, possibly on December 5th or 12th. If we can get the numbers we may be able to organise some entertainment for the evening, perhaps even raising money for a local cause. If you'd be interested in attending let me know.   read more.

Hi Adrian

First of all, thanks for all you do to keep us expats here in the Chantilly area part of the community. Community is so important, particularly when living abroad!

Unfortunately, we Marshies won't be able to volunteer to organize the November outing. Although we have been in the area for almost a year now [where have the months disappeared to?] we've yet to do any exploring of restaurants near or far on our own. So recommending a place for a gang of us to go would not only be a challenge [although, we did go to the Pre Catelan-Paris a few years back!! It was, as one might expect, superb, but so was the bill :-)] but also totally risky! I hope, before the next 12 months pass us by, we'll be able to introduce the H&A crowd to an unforgettable culinary experience.

In the meantime, I would like to put our names forward to share in the H&A Xmas festivities and hope that both of us will be here to enjoy them!!

Best wishes
Annie Marsh
