We've been to Figeac, Cordes, Albi, and other nearby places, however. Maybe this year...<BR/><BR/>Papa, we will try to remain relaxed and imperturbable. You do the same.

I was just doing a google-image search one day last year, looking for images of <I>galettes</I> and <I>fêves</I> to show my students. I used one from his post. I only realized a few months ago, when I was reading through the archives on his blog, that it had been HIS blog I had read :) Same thing for you, and pictures on YOUR blog of windows in Chartres... I realized later that it was YOU :)<BR/><BR/>Happy winter weather!

My parents kept an old (very worn) silver threepenny bit for the purpose, which eventually gave way to a sixpenny bit. After decimalisation, I'm not sure what people do.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I see someone on the Vie de Merde blog reporting a baker's customer who came back to the shop, clutching his jaw and complaining.....Autolycushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642868944400656922noreply@blogger.com
