Scene Normande: Les pommes à cidre (broyées) par couches successives sont installées sur le pression à longue étreinte. Successive layers of cider apples (crushed) are placed on the long-arm press. Normandy is famous for cider (the highly alcoholic sort).
1st November 2001
We are in Normandy for a week enjoying the countryside with all the autumn colours. Yesterday was Hallowe'en and all the little children in the village were in fancy dress - very sweet.
.....and here is the interesting letter which followed ....
we had a lovely week in France, nice sunny weather,it
couldn’t have been better. We rented a house in a little village and a
French friend who we hadn’t seen for some time came to stay with us, it was
really relaxing.
During the daytime we went for long walks with Judy in the forests or on the
beaches, and shopped in the markets. Then in the evenings we came back to
the house and lit a log fire and cooked a meal. The people who own the
house and live next door have got pets, including a large ginger cat. When
we arrived Judy jumped out of the car and in the dark I think she thought
that the ginger cat was a little dog. She ran over to it hoping for a game
but the cat stood its ground and arched its back – poor Judy it was just
like Tom and Jerry, she skidded to a halt then turned around and raced to
the car and jumped back in! The cat meanwhile just looked disgusted and
walked away.
When we were in France we met a lady with a Newfoundland dog, it looked so
cute I had to take a photo which I will attach. It was all black with white
paws, it looked as if his feet had been dipped in white paint. He was seven
years old and called Victor.
