First impressions

Yesterday it was sunny but cool. But enough of the weather forecast.


This far from a scientific survey but when we arrived the other day we needed to stock up on some provisions. A quick trip to Sainsburys ( it's nice to see a smile back on Jan's face) and we seemed to get an awful lot for our money. We'd felt for some time that grocery bills were quite high in France, which is pretty tough on the locals, when there aren't too many jobs and wages are generally lower.


This morning it hit me. I wouldn't be going to the market and slurping up the juices from a mouth tingling kebab with my mate Bryan. Strange not going to market and even stranger not grabbing a kebab. Who or what is going to fill that void? We shall see.
