On The Map!


It's official. At last some recognition, I'm finally on the French map. My village has named a road after me. All I need now is Macron to award me the Legion d'honneur.

In our absence, the French government has decided to name every tiny little country road, and to give every home a number. We are now called Two Hundred and something or other! Another example of their taking control of our lives.

    1. No, there's only one; other than he who lived here in times past.

  6. So much for your quiet life of anonymity. The crowds will come rushing to your door, trampling the flowers. The paparazzi will be snapping pictures through the windows and trying to get shots of you and Lady M emerging from the pool. You won't be able to go anywhere without being recognized.

    1. Such is the downside of fame. I knew it would happen one day!

  7. A street name and house number, now that is progress. The famous can be found and now finding you is made a little easier.

  8. Reading Debby I can't help thinking this would be profitable- you could charge so much per swim in your pool

    What an honor. That is so neat.
    I hope you have a Wikipedia page written and published to complete your fame.
