OK, so I
tried to read the Flist entries by skipping back, but at
skip 482, it refused to go back any further. If I've missed anything truly life changing (apart from
gamiila and
willowfae's employment status) let me know.
And now a little photo log from the week of the
Marche de Gout that began with the
Foire St Francois on the penultimate Sunday of the trip.
In the 'degustation' tent, the Macon Mushroom Scociety had set up their stall. They were offering to identify any that were brought along and managed to get MWNN to part with 4 Euros for their calendar (which includes some nice recipes if you like mushrooms - which I don't.)
A punter offers something up for identification - 'comestible, non-comestible or toxique?
While Monsieur practices his sales patter on MWNN, his companion twinkles his eyes at the camera.
Does the stall holder resemble his cock or the cock his stallholder? He's in Bresse for gawd's sake, where's the Bresse chicken?
I don't fancy the job of skinning and gutting before cooking, do you? (It's a hare, BTW)
Market stalls in front of the Pont de Vaux Hotel de Ville.
And to finish off, a slideshow (This will open in a new window) of my favourite cruising companions on the back deck.
I'll finish this year's cruising log with a retrospective in photos - the highlights of the cruise from my point of view. I'm also busy reorganising the Narrowboat in France site, replacing the photo albums with the cruising log entries accompanied by the pics.
Thanks for all the updates from your trip , I've been green with envy
Glad you enjoyed the cruising log, I try to make even the most 'trying' of experiences amusing/and/or entertaining for the reader.
mind you I won't be at W and M myself and am in a massive sulk about it
But at least I get to do the gigs
Hope Husband gets well soon
and your diaries were great .. as was the postcard! thank you
Oh and in your absence Stephanie had an accident ! She fell off a ladder and broke her elbow poor lamb . She'll be off work for some time.
Well you can't pin that one on me! If you speak to her, send her my best wishes.

I heard - the stamping foot registered 5.1 on the Richter scale.
I'm going to miss my little bit of France each week.
Your mastifs would probably enjoy it as much as the Shepherd does. One of our boaty nighbours (Swiss Bob) has a huge mastif (Rolf) aboard a much smaller boat than ours.
I'm going to miss the French updates too. I love France, and never manage to spend enough time there.
Even so, welcome home. How's the rubble and the husband?
There's a few more French episodes to come if I can find the notebook in which I wrote them, and some more nice pics. I love France too - shame about the 'functionaire jobsworths' who spoiled is every now and then.
Sorry to hear husband is still not being treated properly. It's these bloody targets, IMO. Treat people like numbers and eventually nobody cares about them as people.
My dad once made me sick with mushrooms he found in the woods (he used to go mushrooming). Do you think I'm that annoying?
I need a holiday!
Do you think I'm that annoying?
You might say so, I couldn't possibly comment. ;)
So do I.
Not much to tell with me except my internet is now very limited so I'm around less...
I'm around less...
Sorry to hear that - you're welcome any time.
I know what you mean about the clicking back on the FList
Where have you been? Where are you now? Where will you be next year? These and many other quetions can only be answered satisfactorily by a complete State of the Chen update.
