About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just outside London, but for the past 41 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a large vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), a Labrador dog called Monty, a Border Collie cross called Bok, a cat called Freddie, two hens, plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect! This is an 'Award Free Zone' (of course)
Well the middle part looks delicious.

DeleteI was tempted to put that cartoon on my blog, Cro. Great minds... !
ReplyDeleteTo the point; I thought!
DeleteMac's ladies always have a 'look' of old welsh women......
ReplyDeletehee hee
ReplyDeleteClearly it was their turn to fire up the huge communal oven. I suppose now we'll be hearing about horse DNA being identified in subsequently baked bread and pizzas.
ReplyDeleteOr that they 'may contain nuts'.
DeleteNice
ReplyDeleteI think that there will be so many horse joke books by christmas we won't have to think of any suitable thing s to buy!!!
