Safe landings

Posted on April 1, 2012 by frenchfry36

We handled the 2 flights to Paris well. Maybe it helped that we had a very short stop at Changi Singapore – so short in fact that after a toilet stop and a coffee we arrived at the gate at “last call”! (That grand piano … Continue reading →

The fun of furnishing

Posted on February 7, 2012 by frenchfry36

We thought we had been clever in pre-ordering some basic furniture and essential appliances online from Conforama before arriving in France (a store something like Harvey Norman that we had sussed out on our initial visit), thinking we could easily co-ordinate the delivery … Continue reading →

There’s just something about Paris isn’t there? There must be, after all, 42 million tourists visit there every year! A pleasant 2 1/2 hour journey from Argenton sur Creuse (or a bit longer if you have to change trains at Chateauroux) and you arrive at … Continue reading →
