It really is a small world. Having been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively we settled in St Jean de Luz. One of the primary reasons I elected for the town is that there are virtually no English speakers let alone British people. That didn't mean we weren't known though. There is a lovely shop called the Scottish (ok, am slightly biased). It transpires the lady who set it up is the godmother of the brother of the girl whom my mother is godmother too. Slightly convoluted but a link.
Our new friend visisted for lunch yesterday and we enjoyed it on the balcony. Still no sign of rain so still very little work being done.
