Madame Brit in Bordeaux for last 21 years. More chilled here than over at the other place. Don't want to look back & regret the things I didn't do. Mourning the recent loss of our wonderful Pistache the cat 😻

Not wishing to overload you with recommendations but I do like AM.PM - can be pricey but usually have discounts & further reductions via the La Redoute+ promo thingy that is available with a 30 day free trial.

You've probably answered this somewhere already - why is it set in the US?

The advantage of having bi-lingual (ish) friends is that my franglais messages/mutterings are understood. Can no longer string a sentence together when speaking with eg my mum though πŸ™„

A new take on reserving your sunbeds by the pool by leaving your towels πŸ˜†! Enjoy, it looks like great fun πŸ₯³

Funnily enough she didn't - she knows that she'd find the locks changed if she did!

Update - daughter did indeed find herself chez toi this afternoon & had a beer right there. Total coincidence, never been there in her life, someone told her & her BF about the brocante! Your paths may have crossed!

Moules frites are as close as you get Γ  la campagne πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ! Working team lunch in the Dordogne, vegetarian colleague was offered plate of potatoes as the vege option - cooked in duck fat of course πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

A lot of McDo coke glasses there! Son worked there one summer, coincided with some anniversary or other & staff were all given coffret of coke glasses from each decade. Not many left now unfortunately.

My daughter was having lunch in Castillon today (a bit random) & said she was going to a brocante after - wouldn't be surprised if she rocked up there!

They said the same to my mum, her house ended up just looking empty & unlived in. I try to strike a balance - tidy & decluttered but not sterile. It's enough of a challenge just getting vendors to do the dishes & put their smalls away πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Good grief 😲! Welcome to my world - it's a permanent challenge trying to get vendors to prepare their house for photos - the "corpse in the bed" is (un)surprisingly common πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
