A mix between Julia childs and a recipe I found on the bbc recipe website, basically loads of carrots and mushrooms and wine 😉

I made beef bourguignon this weekend, it is bitterly cold and raining so we both wanted comfort food.

I just binge watched doctor foster on Netflix, really gritty English drama, not great but good.

Hope you feel better soon

Le monde is a right wing straight laced news outlet and those 100 plus signatures are priviledged actresses neither of those things are representative of the opinion of French women or eve, French men, much like Fox News and those women who voted for Trump aren’t all of America. Let’s not generalise based on a very…

Well it is cold and rainy right now in Paris and we are getting snow this week but March tends to be warmer, stupid climate change.

Exactly ! They reopened in Paris with this tiny food corner and had to rethink because the French want their food not their knickers... ironic or what?

Thanks, I’m lucky to have a wonderful dad who remarried to a great lady who is a substitute mum

I buy Yorkshire Tea in my local supermarket and they sell PG Tips in every Carrefour in France (as far as I have experienced) so Marks and Sparks is not too surprising, there is only one on the Champs Elysées because they keep closing them but they are popular, especially the food court.

Well she was a drunk and was what we now call abusive but back in England in the 70s was called strict. But when she was sober she was a hoot, shame she drank herself to death in 2002 at 52, I miss her wit and her wicked sense of humour, I don’t miss her emotional blackmail and her calling me at work at 11 am…

I will watch that, mostly because I love that crazy lady!

About a week for my husband but every person has their own way of expressing how they feel, it isn’t because she isn’t saying it that she might not mean it, sometimes actions speak louder than words.

I agree with mortal, buy it when you get there you may not need it March can be unseasonably warm on the continent.

Holy shit, the Beano and the Harrier model take me back, did you also do top trumps ? Not the orange idiot but a card game bout cars, tanks, airplanes etc.

No tips but good luck and congrats!

He was hot in a dorky way and that film is kitschy gold

Yes and I LOVE it! Both seasons are on Netflix here in France

When was this? And where? If you were in Paris in the 90s or early aughts then ok but I live outside Paris and his movies aren’t even featured in our local multiplex, and no one I know admits to watching them they think his films are chiant which is a pretty good description of his nombriliste bullshit.
