Jacqueline Brown commented on James Higginson's blog post Get your juices flowing!"I do juice - but what a fab idea to do a weekly session and then freeze it - you are a genius! I don't have a real juicer, but the centrifugal addition to my Magimix, so again only 5 parts to wash and a decent motor to power it!…"
Jacqueline Brown replied to Gill Harvey's discussion How does everyone weather the winter?"I like to bake - it gives me something to do, it warms the kitchen, it smells nice and I get to eat it! I also enjoy going out for a dog walk, whatever the weather, but we usually get more bright but crisp days than dark, dreary ones so the…"

Bernadette Kirk commented on Jacqueline Brown's blog post Village art"It is worth going on the day they do the painting, there are street performers and other things to do - including lunch at the Salle de Fetes. And you watch the paintings emerge over the course of the day. This year the paintings come…"
Jacqueline Brown commented on Jacqueline Brown's blog post Village art"That has to be the best street art event I have seen Bernadette, thanks for sharing. We are south of Poitiers, so not too far. It is on my places to visit list, thanks!"

We were out and about yesterday, on a 41km bike ride in the Marais-Poitevin, and spotted this funny little chap stood to attention outside a village mairie. He really got me thinking - why is he there and why does water pour from every possible orifice? I have attended a few committee and planning meetings down at our mairie,…See More

But more than that I hate the paperwork - as you say Catharine how many times do they need the same info - madness! We have done battle…"

It’s August and France is on holiday. We have been warned not to travel on major roads this weekend as the big exodus out of the cities takes place and shops, businesses, even restaurants are closed for their ‘congés annuels’. We all know anything official takes…

Our last night in Argentat seemed to become a bit of a farce; firstly we got swept into last night silliness and our one beer in the sun became two, so by the time we realised there was virtually no choice for a meal out the supermarkets had also closed! We are no strangers to wandering around French towns searching in vain for somewhere to eat, but so far on this trip we had been lucky. How come a town in the middle of nowhere with under 900 inhabitants (Meyrueis)…

I can thoroughly recommend Meyrueis in the Cevennes national park, especially if like me you had never heard of it before. It is a fantastic location with so much to see and do we will definitely be returning here again, and probably to stay a few days. Last night we stumbled upon a gem of a restaurant serving great local food, where three courses and wine cost us less than 35€. In the summer we could have sat on their terrace above the river that the trout I ate…

- Hi Jacqueline
I currently use a brand new PC laptop but I think everyone doing anything to do with imaging uses macs.
I might just take alook on Le Bon Coin.
What spec should I be looking for?

Somewhat delayed reply because my son in Norfolk said he would sort it as he is in IT and already has a website, but he takes his time! Recently he told me he had done it - have you noticed anything? He calls the house Deux Puits and its in Lugny Champagne (18)

- Hi Jacqueline
I have just joined the group and noticed in the newsletter that you were offering ads for gites. I am not clear as to how I find the right piece for it but am interested in offering the ground floor studio apartment with above ground pool that we have here in Cher for rent near Sancerre and Pouilly wine districts). It is newlky renovated and also fully suitable for wheelchair users. Could you please tell me what I need to do? Thanks Sue
