Mads dogs and English men..

.. barbecue in all weathers. We had invied the neighoburs around for a barbecue but of course for the first time in two weeks it rained - indeed poured with all the attendant thunder, lightening and power cuts.
Not to be deterred the barbecue was moved into the chimney and still did the job. An interesting evening when the conversation moved onto French humour, a conversation in which no prisoners were being taken on the speed of French being produced. That combined with a strong Patois accent meant that a fair bit of nodding and "Oui, oui" went on
Still some way to go on this language business.
