never did I realise how many apples and pears existed . Gregoire and Patrice (Hotel de France) ran pomme and poire cookery classes, Scarlet and I played giant Connect-4 (puissance-quatre) and strange ancient wooden games that all seemed to be called names starting with Q, the sun shone, we ate lots of apples and pears, and then we ate some more....a lovely afternoon was had by all.
