One month in the French countryside! I reconnected with grass, and trees, and ambling, and large ponds, and mysterious pond creatures, and old statues, and trains, walking places, and really good summer tomatoes, and long summer days, and Asterix & Obelix, and World Cup drama, and cognac in my white sauce, new music, and very old friends (one who I remember as a newborn, 21 yrs ago), and cider, and annoying teenagers, and the silly Tour Eiffel, and solitude, and verb conjugations, and the happiness that only good bread & cheese & a delicately constructed pain au chocolat can bring. If in my dotage I begin to wonder if it was all as lovely as I remembered, please remind me that it was.
