Fête du four

There is a bread oven in the village.   It's not in frequent use, but once a year it is fired up as the focus of a general get-together of the villagers.   Everyone brings something to cook, and shares it out when ready.  

Heating the oven needs care, and has to be done gently.   A small fire is set on Friday evening as a first pre-heat, with a further pre-heat on Saturday late morning.  And the real thing starts early Saturday evening.

The only problem was the weather - it was so cold!  But a good time was had by all.
