Evening apéro of saucisson sec à l'ancienne and herbed baguette croûtons paired with a crumbly Shropshire Blue and splash of port.

Snowed in
Beautiful Place Dauphine, practically deserted.

Above all, my dear child, do not come to Paris!

one leaves for fear of seeing this plague fall on us, it spreads like a

Snow bird

"Snowbirds" migrate from cold climates to warmer and in Arizona, their caravans fill national park campgrounds. Usually retired couples, they make new friends as they go, comfortably installed for the winter months on folding chairs and around campfires - knitting, cooking, making coffee, chatting, exchanging stories and travel advice. - BPJ
