No thank you.

Anyone for andouillette ? 😆

If you know you know.

Looking at my FB timeline we must be the only people in France not to have snow today! 😀😆🤣

Merry Christmas!

What a result by the Warriors! From 21 down at the half!

“Sorry guys, I forgot this was the cat’s bed”. Yep. And you’ve just had a bath 🤣

We had movement. 🤣

Sunday afternoon vibes. ❤️👌🏻

It’s that time of the year at our local Centrakor… you know the one, @franglaise.bsky.social

If you know, you know.

My son was two last time Scotland played at a World Cup. Last night, he was at Hampden. Not envious much. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Coming to the end of a week in London. I didn't find any no go areas. Not a black flag in sight. I used my phone on the street without it being stolen. I even went South of the river. Twice. It's a great city & I love being here in the place where I was born & where my kids live & work.

Sainte Foy la Grande, today at 11 am, and my two great-great-grandfathers, one dead 18/09/1916 on the front, the other in 2025 from the consequences of a gas attack while in the trenches. Lest we forget.

Right, Kola. That’s not funny anymore! 😱

Kola impersonation a puppy. Thank you for that. 🤬😡

Miss Kola sporting her new collar. Certainly growing nicely.

Baxter and Kola getting into the new week…

🤣👌🏻

Quick weekend away to London for some NFL action… I hope I survive London’s ravaged, bitter, embattled streets! 😇😜

Cahors for 24 hours.

Today’s discovery.

What’s with the mobility scooters in Tenerife? The amount of « abled » people going around on them is unreal. I 100% understand and respect support people that need them but if you are under 30, fit and healthy, you should be able to walk along to get your kebab and your ten pints of lagers…

My old French (catholic) high school, recently rocked by a sex abuse enquiry spanning 40 years, organising an open day. Not sure the timing nor the photo is really appropriate!

How much I don’t miss this life! 😱🤬😡

Few days grape picking at Chateau Feely in Saussignac. Always a pleasure to work for Caro and Sean. ❤️

Kola update. Life is tough. Really tough. Not. ❤️👌🏻

Kola update… I think she has settled in ok 🤣👌🏻

Happy Monday folks. Let’s go again. I wonder what catastrophe awaits us on the world stage this week. 😃

New record at Leclerc. Usual retired couple, takes forever to pack their purchases, then reach for TWO rucksacks. Fear sets in. They are going to pay by cheque, aren’t they. Oh yes. And wrote the full details on the stub. Not once. TWICE. Yes. Two cheques. 🤣

Today marks the anniversary of the liberation of our little town from the Germans. Plenty monuments throughout the town marking the spots where FFIs where shot by then retreating Germans. All young kids in their early twenties.

Bank holiday… what Bank Holiday…When you roofer finally turns up to paint the small section of paint they flaked ten months ago 🤣

29 degrees IN THE HOUSE this morning. Crazy.

Hi South West peeps. Mrs Shortbread is looking for a good English speaking dentist in either Bordeaux or Bergerac (and surroundings of course)… suggestions welcome! 🦷😬🦷

Definitely right up there among my favourite malts. Merci John and Bernadette.

Update… Latest unexpected addition to the household is doing well. +100 grams, everything working well. Looks like a she… named Kola.

Just deleted X. Can’t stand the anti vaccine, racist, anti Europe, pro Trump bile I get to read daily. Had enough.

Scottish clients are the best. Just saying. My favourite Malt as well, with personalised label. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏼

Cat distribution service has finally delivered.

Ouch. That’s going to hurt. 🥵

Manor near Sarlat. Little door to the Shire…

…and then Musk said

We go live to 🇺🇸

Peekaboo

To top up this amazing rugby weekend…

Looking for a lovely home in Gironde?

Hummm. Don’t think so, Leclerc. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
