15th September 2025....New Table

I spotted an ideal table in a thrift store/op shop/charity shop in Mazamet, whilst out with Carla, one day.

Dave and I collected it on 15th the day after he got back from Millau.....


It has 4 panels/rallonges which extend it to this size.

And folds down to this size for every day use!
