Dear all,
having a lovely time. Went to Bergerac yesterday, home of that guy Cyrano. Thought you might like this shot of a fashion shop, and a look at the recipe books they were selling in a very upmarket cook shop:
But for all you traditionalists, here is a cute touristy pic:
A bientot!

Hello! I’m just down the road from you (well, quite a way down the road) in Bordeaux. Hasn’t the weather been crap this year?
Posted by Jane Dougherty | August 23, 2014, 11:10 amyes, hasn’t it? Went to Bordeaux for a spot of shopping. I wore a cardy!

Posted by naptimethoughts | August 16, 2014, 5:51 pmSorry, Ntt. I thought of you today in a supermarket when I was investigating the biscuit aisle and found acres of different flavoured JAffa cakes made by Pims, that firm you mentioned. Took a pic of them, but can’t send it. My tablet is only receiving stuff, it won’t send. Thought you’d like the m&m French cookery book!
Posted by elainecanham | August 16, 2014, 11:09 pmYeah, Pims come in many flavors, but the chocolate is all hard and thick, and although they are tasty, they aren’t as good as Jaffa Cakes. Speaking of which, I have to get in touch with my dealer.
Posted by naptimethoughts | August 17, 2014, 4:25 pmDear, dear. Has it come to this? And I feel so responsible…did you know that they brought out a black cherry version? Not for the purists, I know. But pretty damn nice. Not sure if they still do them, though…

Posted by elainecanham | August 16, 2014, 12:23 pmLooks like you having a lovely time. Years since I’ve been to France
Posted by Peter Wells aka Countingducks | August 16, 2014, 10:45 amWe come nearly every year. Love it. But the weather is a bit crap this year.
Posted by elainecanham | August 16, 2014, 11:19 amEgad! UR in France!!!! RE Bergerac – who nose? (Just letting you know how erudite I am!)
Posted by Bruce Goodman | August 16, 2014, 8:59 amAll Brits have to go to France every year. It’s part of the Maastricht treaty
Posted by elainecanham | August 16, 2014, 9:12 amYou can spell Mastrick Maastrict Maastricht without looking it up?
Posted by Bruce Goodman | August 16, 2014, 11:59 pmYup. Dunno where it is, though.
Posted by elainecanham | August 17, 2014, 8:48 amLOL – sounds like a nice thing to eat if you’re adventuresome!
