Shout Out in Hampshire and Dorset!

Hi,

If anybody knows someone with the odd bit of kitchen equipment, e.g. pots and pans, that they do not want, then let me know!! I am collecting kitchen items to help vulnerable people in Bournemouth and Poole to set up home for themselves.

Life in the Centre of France! Wish I was there .....

Typical drive from Lignieres to St. Amand:

Driving along and suddenly the little, white renault in front does an emergency stop. 'Oh my goodness what have they hit!' Is my first thought, as I just avoided missing them! Then the doors of the car fly open and out scramble a couple who proceed to leap over a hedge into a field.

My curiosity gets the better of me and I slow right down to see what happens next. They're picking mushrooms!! Yes, some French would risk a pile-up to be the first to some champignons!
