It was good to see everyone First Friday in December... ages
since we had such a good natter. Just like popping into the pub
back home!
As the first Friday in January is New Years day and in the interests
of promoting family harmony, it is probably best to give it a miss
in January.
So, see you on Friday 5th February?

The Christmas Market suffered from some dismal weather, but it did
not stop the more hardy from getting their free Santa pressie, sweeties
and (for the sodden parents) free mulled wine!
Anyone seen a bloke in a red hoody?

One of the biggest problems living in rural France, is the lack
of choice when it comes to pressie shopping. Choice, not just in
the variety of things on offer, but of price. It is almost as if
there is a cartel operating amongst all the major stores here. The
price of a Bosch cordless screwdriver differs not, between Bricorama
and Mr Bricolage etc.
A bit galling, really, when folks back home in the UK are spoilt
for choice and are having to wade through 2-for-one offers and hugely
discounted goods.
Well we have decided to do something about it and have begun on
a new website build to bring choice and low prices to us down here
in the boondocks.
As a beginning, we have teamed up with two famous online stores
- Amazon and The Book Depository, so you can get online and grab
some bargains.
Amazon deliver most things to France and when it comes to Books,
the Book Depository deliver anywhere at no additional cost.
Happy shopping.
