FRANCE IS ONLY A LONG SWIM AWAY

wE ARE OFF AGAIN WITH AN EMPTY CAR, EMPTY ZIP BAGS. AND WE HOPE TO PART FILL THEM WITH A GOOD ASSORTMENT OF fRENCH DELIGHTS, NOT JUST CHEESE AND WINE, BUT ALSO A SELECTION OF THOSE LOVELY THINGS THAT SOMETIMES GRIP YOU WHEN YOU SEE THEM ON THE STALL OF A DEALER, WHO SOMETIMES JUST REGARDS HIS STOCK AS CLEARANCE JUNK AND CANT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT
AND WHO THINKS THE FOREIGNERS ARE JUST MAD TO BUY OLD JUNK THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT A LA MODE AND BELONGS TO THE DAYS OF HIS GRANDMOTHER.

    Sad and sorry to say ghat despite taking mky sewing machine on holiday - it needs a break every summer, like me, I did not have the right threads to punch through the stiff linen canvas so was thwarted - did some cutting out on a terrace table in the sun and then gave up! Will continue saga when there is more to show - apron, tote and cushion cover ready for stitching now, much more later. EB
