Kermesse update No comments yet

Just a quick update to say that our excellent Kermesse last weekend made it into the “local ” paper Ouest-France. You can see their report and photo (Molly just sneaks in on the left) here:

Yesterday saw the delivery of the weekly bundle of publicity leaflets. Most people have a little sign on their postboxes saying “pas de pub” - no junk mail essentially, but as certain members of the family like their shopping (and here’s a clue…it’s not me! ) we allow them to be delivered.

Now, normally they are just the usual Hyper U, E Leclerc brochures, with various other random things stuffed inbetween. But this week they were accompanied by the Foussais-Payre bulletin - a kind of village magazine that comes out every 3 months or so (i think). It describes what has been going on in the village, the different comings and goings on the coouncil etc. All the usual stuff.

But what delighted us, and especially Lisa, was that on the page describing the events that had taken place at St Antoine, was this little piece:

How nice that the school are enjoying Lisa’s Monday afternoon visits. I know she looks forward to it as that’s just what she loves doing.

1,000 visitors…my first mille-stone! 7 comments

..get it? Mille = Thousand…ah never mind!

I just wanted to say a big “Merci beaucoup!” to everyone who has visited this site over the last 2 months. I only started rambling on about our life here in Foussais-Payre on 26th March and already I have notched up 1,000 visits. It’s a small milestone, but it’s nice to think that there are at least some crazy dedicated people out there who want to spend time reading what I write.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you all keep coming back. Don’t be shy about leaving a comment either, I do enjoy conversations
