"LAZY FAIRIES" is nearer the mark and you don't need to speak French when you get there, you just pick it up as you go along. The locals will help you if they know you are really interested in learning - unless you're too old to learn. Anyway, those foreigners should speak English! C'est la vie INDEED.

99-skidoo Our ice cream man doesn't call any more. They never did in the summer months - they do more business down at the beach, two minutes away. My mum used to love a Mr Softee 99. I bet Lucy would love one too. She is lying asleep on the floor at the moment with the "Cats" video running. She has been for a swim, a walk and a visit to the park today, with a visit from my friend Norah thrown in. Norah brought Lucy a Jenny Jones Doll from Penmaenmawr, and got the loveliest cuddle for it. Marj > Did I tell you I caught the SCREAM man yesterday?

What you say may all be true, Brian. I don't care if it is. The French have got it all RIGHT! Their way of life is just so wonderful and they have it all over there - the weather, the produce, the wine. Two hours for lunch. Laissez-faire (is that how you spell it) The Art, the buildings, oh wonderful! I would buy a house over there tomorrow if only I could speak enough French to get by.

Lovely, I like a bit of Swede. Better than frogs. Pity they had to pay an ex-Prime Minister of ours to build a hole in the sea to get them through where they couldn't beat Welly.
