Emigrating Before Xmas!

[Mello]

The time has now come, we're emigrating to France next week.

Looking forward to it (just not the logistics, which mean three return trips in a week)

Welcome to France. What part are you moving to?

[Mello]

Near Mayenne, just into Lower Normany (above Loire) a village called Ceauce

Where are you?

Dept 31 - Haute Garonne near the Pyrenees. It's about -5 at the moment so don't forget to bring a coat.

Going down to Toulouse (via Carcassonne) tomorrow for a bit of a party on Friday.

Thanks for the warning Paul (though it had been mentioned by a mate earlier in the week)

Big fleece and lots of jumpers now in suitcase




ETA: Good luck Mello, made me very jealous. Should have done it myself years ago.

Since you are near Mayenne, just to make you feel at home have a look here:-

We went and bought a load of food before Xmas because, having so many french to table, we thought they ought to eat turkey and stuffing with Xmas pud not oysters and roast beef or duck (though we started with oysters anyway). Their cumberland sausages are to die for too, as are their pork pies. They do mail order if others are interested.

Thanks Lowdrag - top tip We are planning a trip to Epicerie Barenton very soon!
