US Election night
Who isn't watching, listening or blogging ?
Yes, the time has come...and as I sit zapping from the BBC to CNN etc watching the results, I just wondered to myself who is NOT watching the election results...or if not watching, at least listening, blogging or surfing ?

The clever bison & la rentrée
OK so this blog has been silent for a little over a month...and for the excellent reason that both Blandine and I have been making the most of the summer to ressource, revive and relax with our respective families.

Happy 14th of July
liberté, égalité, fraternité & champagne
As it's Bastille Day, I thought I'd just wish all my French friends and family a Happy 14th of July. It tends to be a bit of a party here with the traditional Bal des Sapeurs Pompiers (where all the fireman have parties near their stations), and fireworks pretty much all over the country (don't miss them at the Eiffel tower this year which has been light up in blue to celebrate France's presidency of the European Union)...the famous Bastille Day parade down the Champs Elysées where France's military might is on show...and then various garden parties open to the great and good and many more besides...All over the world, French embassies open their doors to French citizens abroad...what a generous public service this country has ! So as the corks fly and the champagne flows I'll be raising my glass to liberté égalité & fraternité in the gardens of the French consulate in Edinburgh ! Vive la veille alliance !
