Mais oui et alors mes amis, the Famille H are off on their hols to South West France and hoping that the 40% chance of rain forecast for next week is an erreur; for heading South will be sweeter if to a warmer, sunnier place. Either way we are banking on groovy cheeses and groovier wine, fresh baked bread and some cheap gin from the hypermarket - and we've loved doing the London things this summer, but we also need to breathe some green, you know?
It's an early start and a long drive tomorrow, all frites by the autoroute and petit cafes to keep me awake, so don't make me stay up late tonight gassing away with you.
There's half a melon in the fridge if you want to use it up.
Salut!

I love that song. Another of those that reminds me of being a kid. Have a luvverly time. Me, I'm off to London for the week. Never stopped working there, but haven't slept there for almost exactly a week.
ReplyDeleteDrink some wine for me.
Thanks chaps, you are bricks.
ReplyDeleteMick - be advised I am in touch with my inner hippie (though I still don't trust him).
Happy to drink some wine for everyone, you know me.
Have a better journey than nous.
ReplyDeleteBon vacances and have some macaroons for me.
One tip, get the gin on the ferry, a litre of Tanquery for 17 quid, it's not cheaper in France anymore.
The cheap stuff is though!
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who may have been wondering by the way, that is an actual pic of a French haystack of my acquaintance.
Although she never calls.
ReplyDeleteDavy, DAVY! You still awake?
ReplyDeleteYou know we never talk anymore
Mlle Haystack, can that really be you?
ReplyDeleteI'll get back to you at the end of Masterchef but I think that the purty gurl will win again.
ReplyDeleteA goat's cheese tart and fish, christ I could have done that!
ReplyDeleteHave a good one Davy and the Hs..
ReplyDeleteMake the most of it - London will seem busy, cluttered and crowded when you come back
I'm probably a bit late for the melon so I will just wish you and the family ~~Happy Hols~~
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Gina.
(We're down in Cornwall for a few days next week, forecast is dodgy but never mind).
Jeepers Creepers! I post an isolated comment on your buggary blog and you leave the country. Well then, what more can I say... Bon voyage! Mais prenez garde au soleil!
