Everything You Want to Know About France and More...
Here, we are enjoying our new normal, having a drink at a bar, eating out at a restaurant, not having to wear masks outdoors unless in crowded places. People keep saying “oh I’ve missed this, I never realised how important it was, how much it makes our lives better.” I guess the things that you …
Bonjour! Now some of you, though I hope not all of you, will have received two sets of old newsletters in the last few days from me. Well sort of from me! Ever since I started blogging 5 years ago, I’ve used a system called Feedburner to send you a newsletter. And it’s worked perfectly. Until …

Bonjour I hope you had a good week. Here in my little of bit of France which I call the middle-of-nowhere since some days I don’t see another human being (if you don’t count the other half) and can drive for miles without passing a car – it’s been a quiet and industrious week. After …
