Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. 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!
Magnifique!
ReplyDeleteCan imagine the taste.
We had an omelette; wonderful.
DeleteWhat a happiness on the plate.
ReplyDeleteWe've had to wait over a year, there were none in 2020.
DeleteOh I love enfin - one of my favourite French dishes after French fries and French toast.
ReplyDeleteYou're thinking of 'on fire', the Yorkshire bistro where the chip pan caught fire.
DeleteHappy days! I just noticed the little brush on your mushroom knife. Is this a new one?
ReplyDeleteIt's not new, just hardly used. It's a dedicated Opinel Mushroom Knife, and the brush is to clean away unwanted dirt and creatures (which I didn't).
DeleteThinking enfin meant "the end" I thought you might have ended it by mushroom. :)
ReplyDeleteNo, it's French for 'Phew, at friggin' last'.
