Anyway , himself has just strangled someone in ELeclerc and forced it out of them . One of “ those “ trips ..... yeah it can be difficult. Biggest PIA I found out on the scooter and particularly the old scooter with less range was finding a bloody petrol station at all. We had a few close calls where we were running on fumes. I took to carrying a 5 litre can of petrol in the MH Garage in remote areas.

Give Annecy our love! Maggie's suffering withdrawal symptoms already. But her son, daughter and granddaughter are spending Christmas with us so I hope she cheers up by then!! Enjoy the market. The Old Town will be lovely - I recommend a big tartiflette or raclette in one of the restaurants overlooking the canal. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms now!!

Sorry, I missed your off, as Terry says, don't break anything there's a good girl, just have a good time. Why is it called GLP when everyone else calls it LPG or is it something different?

All acronyms are reversed in French. OTAN / NATO. EU/UE. It goes on and on. Still easy to work them out .
I am not skiing. We are watching Biathlon joined by the German family and some friends. Its still easy to fall over...fell 3 times last week in Andorra, once on skis , twice just walking. Very icy. I have my crampons with me ...
Et voila. Pitch black here at Usell. Annecy later...which we have been to a billion times but live the Christmas market 🙂
