I am still wondering at the hair of France

Regular readers will be aware that I am in "France", which is ace. France is a country just across the Channel from the Yew-Kay. It shares a border with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain - and that is just the countries I can remember . I have been on covert operations in Paris for two weeks, but now I am in Charente-Maritime with my parents, in their house. We are having a nice time; a very nice time.

What is an actual fact is that wherever you are in France there are 'themes', like for e.g. excellent food everywhere, loads of wine that you can drink in your mouth, Serge Gainsbourg on the radio all the time and the President of France doing French kissing with his Italian wife.  Another 'theme' is that some English people (not me and/or my family obv) move here but do not bother to learn to speak French. Happily, there is a corner of a foreign supermarket that is forever England, so they do not have to engage with the locals.  Here is evidence:

French speakers will enjoy the sign in the background - and I think that is a fact.

(I am not sure what Fluff and Dr Pepper are doing there, but no matter; the point is made.)

Also, they have AMAZING hair in France - hair like soft fluffy sheep. Here is further evidence; for the original evidence, simply scroll down or click here for my last post, which also dealt with the astonishing subject of French hair.

In other news, my mother brings out meat-based foodstuffs and one of the dogs looks at  them:

You are correct. That is a Radio Times. 

And in the local hunting shop, otters gambol in the window, holding between their paws delightful Christmas balls.

They, like me, wish you a Merry Christmas.  May your festive "season" be exactly as you would wish it to be.
