I don't know the Dordogne area, which I think may be the case for many Americans? If it's built in the 20th century, then all the plumbing and lights should work well. ;-) Franglais might make for a fun blog, but I do enjoy the comments and views of all the lovely readers contributing here, and of course the fine authorship. I've learned a lot from the lot of you over the years. ;-)Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-17121072489479555372020-04-19T20:00:09.193+02:002020-04-19T20:00:09.193+02:00Mud is something we're used to around here.Mud is something we're used to around here.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-45762430230086983372020-04-19T19:07:52.816+02:002020-04-19T19:07:52.816+02:00Not mudslides.
