1,000 years of English agriculture

Hi Diane, I guess you're never too old to learn, Derek.

Glad you've found a new interest Diane, I've taken up conversational french, we have a great time. Must look up WEA courses:-)

I did a 2 term A level French, then found it was Parisien
French. I went to the South where they speak a
different dialect French. Like Cornwall and Aberdeen.
After a few days it dawned on me ( I am slow) to write
down the words I had learned on a card and show it
to them. Then they got all excited as they knew I had
made an effort to learn their language. French people
appreciate English people doing that.
Its worth taking a few cards with you in case you need
to do that.

Thats a clever idea Diane, I enjoy the art group I go to, not a course I have done them, this gives me the freedom to do what I feel like doing :0)

avez vous a cuppa Ba?
remember the chimps :0)

Thanks I'll take a note pad Diane, I'll feel more confident:-)
Oui Pam, j'ai un tasse de the, je boire biusson rouge mantenant, pas de cafeine:-))

Remember in different parts of France they open and close local shops to suit the weather. Even when there is a notice in the window 'Ovre 4 p.m.' its often 6 p.m. when the stir themselves.
Best to take good supply of dried food.
