Thanksgiving in France with Cuir de Gardenia
I got my Christmas present to myself on Thanksgiving, three minis from Aftelier, and I had to open it! Living in France, where we are not celebrating this wonderful American holiday, it took the place of a big dinner with friends. Cuir de Gardenia is the olfactory equivalent of a Murmuratio...

Lisa, great to see you here, thanks for coming! The great thing about my experience here is that I can constantly observe the cultural differences without feeling too impinged on by them, thus is the position of the expat I guess. For P it is so different, as he feels like he should be identifying with "his" people and doesn't always, he is so American. I am more of the Doris Day character here for sure, don't you worry! Thanks for the reminder that Living Life is a great job! Xxx

G, I remember that story, so glad you put it to paper! It's must be awfully hard to write about personal experiences of political and economic turbulence, but it is all about the point of view, isn't it? I have just begun to think about writing this way, I am such a total novice, probably don't have the focus to really work things out, but you do! I am just about to do a post about the books we have been reading, you will be interested in Pierre's choices! Xxx

Oh please ipad editor, how did you come up with "laming to you" instead of "talking to you"????? Sorry!

Gabriella, how lovely to see and hear you here, as your comment is just like laming to you, which oddly feels like recently to me too! No need to be crushed by the responsibility, don't you think people freely ignore input of this kind if it suits them? Not me not here not now, I have fantasies of writing more, which is why I have these blogs, but certainly don't do it every day, do you? I don't really know what to write ON or IN, which is silly to admit........but I will come up with a group of notebooks, manual and digital this week, I promise! Thanks for the feedback!
The house is a bit cold at this moment, but winters are mild here in comparison with where you are, and much brighter too! We should talk next winter.........we might leave for a while and maybe you would like to come...........
Get back to that novel, I can't wait to read it! What or who is your subject pray tell??? Xxx
