My little boutique in france is in Semur-en-Auxois. A medievale town between Lyon and Paris. The TGV stops here so there is only one hour only to each city on this very fast train. Amongst the old beams, glass cupboards and parquet floors I sell ladies underwear well it sounds better to say "lingerie fine" I specialize in large sizes but I also sell cross stitch kits and habadashery and all things to do with sewing. I have load of buttons in stock and this is what I like to sell most. I've been here 11 years now and clients have become friends and send me their daughters now. Today the 16th January is my day off. Sunday - what bliss to sit around in my dressing gown and do nothing all day long - well not really this is not reality - a weeks cleaning the house awaits me and there is a mountain of ironing to be done.
Jean Marie was off hunting at 6am. He'll be here for lunch so I have made a potato pie - scallopped potatoes with cheese an egg and milk - its been in the oven for hours while I vaccum and dust - as its now "midi" I have allowed myself an aperitif - a glass of red wine while awaiting the "chasseur".
