Yours blogs are such a joy to read being filled with wit, mirth and laughter and the experience of incongruity-the incongruity which you illustrate very well in the difference between the concepts, thoughts and ideas.
My Mother is English too, hailing from Plymouth and oft since my childhod I have heard about the travails of the French language primarily,her efforts to educate my Sister and I in correct English usage without any sprinkling of French words and last but not the least the frequent visits to our Grandparents which was made bearable by the sumptuous breakfasts all the while answering innocuous questions about liking Plymouth or Aubagne better.
Heartfelt WIshes and Prayers for Tadpole and yourself Madame for the Spring after the harsh Winter.

Sincerely,
Jean de Chalon

I’m pretty sure dog pee gets stinky after the initial roses and hyacinths stage.

Been lurking for months mainly ‘cos I never succeeded in sending, but can’t resist trying again from my new address etc. Just moved to Mexico – the pacific coast to be precise and the temperature is around 30 and far above that in the sun, cool at night tho´which makes it very pleasant.

Don’t give up hope tho’. Spring is round the corner- or before the door as they say in German. We are Brits and have spent the last ten years in La France profonde which I adored. Will miss the civilisation – at the moment it is all too American, however we’ll adjust.

And why have we come? Because our son and his young family live here. Sofia, our grandchild, is a year younger than Tadpole and I’m very interested in how kids aquire language and especially when they are growing up bilingual. Now I have to aquire Spanish but I think I can – even if I’m more than twice Petite’s age.

Bon courage as you struggle through the winter – it really was cold and we had real snow in the south for the first time in ten years. I know what you are going through – we saw it only eleven days ago.

I’m in 56 as well, and that’s all I’ve heard about all day, but yet there isn’t a flake in sight.

PS. Hope your ankle isn’t hurt too badly!

More of a wet flurry of soggy tissues type that is slushy, cold and doesn’t have that satisfying crunch that real snow shouls have….this stuff goes splat.
Lik Tadpole however the children are delighted with this mucky white mess and squeal delightedly as they squelch their way through it. And meanwhile Maman trudges behind looking at wet shoes, blue tiny hands that will require warming and trouser bottoms with a rising damp tideline …’You’ll need to change those!’
Parents – what wet rags we are…….

I was running for a bus one morning and tripped, falling headlong in a very dramatic fashion. I grazed my hands and knees quite badly and tore a hole in a brand new pair of trousers.

I was horribly embarrassed, gutted about the trousers, and ran home to get changed, crying all the way.

Spring, we need you… Ps. really enjoying the site. Thanks.

But that’s why you can have it so green, all of the gloom. I’ll trade just a little of our sunshine for some water – we’ve had no water from the sky for months.

Hmmm, I used to hate walking four miles in the rain…
