Without all the work, too! Wonderful perspective and as noted the red really perks up the picture and for a minute the frigid weather is forgotten.<br /><br />No insulation in the houses...amazing. Lucky you and Walt chose to add it when you did your remodel. Thermals are one way to keep warm and of course, you are keeping th insides warm with Boston Baked Beans (I can smell it from here!) and other comfort food (endive gratin - yummy!). Stay warm.<br /><br />Mary in ORMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-72593102859917280622012-02-07T18:11:49.530+01:002012-02-07T18:11:49.530+01:00One danger is that Merkel will alienate (farther) ...One danger is that Merkel will alienate (farther) the French left, and if Socialist candidate François Hollande does win in May, there might not be much chance of Franco-German cooperation for a while.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26136684079282322702012-02-07T16:41:36.721+01:002012-02-07T16:41:36.721+01:00Ken

I heard on the weather report yesterday that it was minus 19 in Romorantin. Romo is frequently one of the coldest places in France. Be careful outside and do bundle up completely.

Our house got an F on the energy report, poor thing. It's our poor 'appendage' of an outside toilet that is most cold though.
