Home offered to cat
My son, who lives in Palau del Vidre, tells me there's a vacancy in his feline quartet. One of his cats has passed over the Rainbow Bridge through old age, and he's willing to adopt a cat which needs a home. Obviously he 'd " prefer " a neutered moggie (male or female - he's not sexist). If anyone'...

Marrons Glacés
On the Newsletter there's a recipe for Marrons Glacé. It's difficult! It takes a long time. BUT...the results are worthwhile in some cases. In some cases....... Many years ago, my son's first wife, whom I had always loved unquestioningly, mentioned that she adored Marrons Glacés, so before Christmas...

UK & back
After a few troublesome months, Robert is longing for some comfort feeding. He sorely misses Oatcakes and our grand-daughter would love to get her mitts on Cadbury's Flake, etc (so would I) I know you can find them here but at exorbitant prices: Oatcakes are about 2€ 70 here, +/- 1 quid in UK, so 5 ...

Nothing to do with emails, but I've just had a butchers at Phipplbert's site (fermetramunta) and it's absolutely gorgeous. The views, the birds and animals photos are delightful. Click on his site - well worth it.

Yes, Lynda, it WILL happen. Already Collioure & Bourg-Madame have banned bull-fighting in the last 3 or 4 years. The petitions (by anti-corrida societies such as F.L.A.C.- Fédération des Luttes pour l'Abolition des Corridas - and other groups) do influence mayors. I read in the local paper only a f...

I'm sure everyone is shocked by the news that thr Turner family have undergone such a terrible tragedy as the loss of their son. No-one who hasn't experienced such sadness can possibly understand how devastating this must be. If writing this book has helped Mr.Turner to mourn, it was certainly a wor...

Freezer wanted
It's always like this, isn't it?
Just before the tribe invades the parental residence, my freezer conks out.
So I'm urgently seeking a 2nd hand freezer, not too big.
I'm in the Canet/Cabestany area; email hf1@free.fr or pm. Thanks everyone.

Chocolate desire
Is anyone in the southern Perpignan area going to UK - or rather coming back from UK - with room in their bag for about 15 - 20 € worth of chocolate? I'm thinking specifically of Cadbury's milk choc, Cadbury's "Flake," ditto "Picnic". etc. My grand-daughter (ok, & me too) would be sooooo pleased. Em...

Is there anything, anything at all on Manchester-Perpignan this summer? Up to now M/c flights land at Beziers (& maybe Toulouse...not sure).
BMyBaby (?) used to do M/c-Perps but they stopped some years ago.
Thanks for any info.

Last summer I found the Avon product very efficient. I bought it on Amazon. Another problem has just cropped up though: those "chenilles". Is it true they're only attracted to conifers? There are no more conifers in our garden, but I'm bit anxious 'cos I noticed a number of these "chenilles" marchin...

Not sure where this should go.. Looking for a gite for 2 adults & three extremely well-behaved children (aged 8 - 12) for a fortnight in July. Ideally in the Cabestany/ Saleilles / St. Nazaire area, (i.e. near us) but as they have a car a radius of 20 klms would be considered. I'm too old now to hav...

Chicken from Lidl ?? You must be joking! Unless of course, you're satisfied eating rubber chickens that have been "living" in cages all their miserable lives.

OR : bang the top of the tin several times on the pavement or cement floor. I know there's a way to open a locked car door with a mobil...

Welcome to the area. It is customary in Catalonia to kiss people (see Kiss Me,Kat e). For example, when boarding a bus you kiss the driver 4 times after handing him your fare (or bus card), then shake hands with all the passengers who are seated, and kiss (two kisses) those who are standing.
