France has only had 3 deaths from Swine Flu but a delightful way of life is about to change.
La "Bise" – the mutliple kissing on the cheek – is about to be banned. Is it 3 or 4 kisses on the cheek? Just keep them coming!! Such a shame.
French schools are being instructed to ban the practise. Even la "bise" (we should say it is a polite greeting) for your teacher is no longer allowed by school children. Can you imagine that being allowed in UK schools?

The women were busy preparing a sit-down cassoulet feast for 400 people, and as a treat for the women they were rewarded with a meal of fresh
escargot!
A good fete involves a lengthy
petanque competition; dancing and music till dawn; drinking for the same period of time; grilled Toulouse sausage and the cassoulet. Flirting is a must!
Sounds like fun!

The French Baby Boomers are set to retire in the next few years. Where will they be retiring to? According to a study by INSEE, the favoured regions will be "particularly strong" in Burgundy, Aquitaine, Poitou-Charentes, Limousin and Auvergne.
Occupations experiencing the most departures will be initially those occupied by many senior managers and employees of banking and insurance, business leaders and doctors, executives and employees of the Civil Service, executive secretaries, domestic workers, childminders, and farmers.
Approximately one third of people currently employed in 2005 will have permanently left the workforce by 2020.

So far this week: Horse dying from toxic algae on a beach in Brittany; King Cobras rampant Near Tours and now nearly 200 dead birds in the Loire where they have succumbed to an outbreak of botulism type D – although harmless to humans.
It is something like something out of a Monty Python sketch.
And now for something completely ….. Sunday Madness on the Rhone at Pont Saint-Benezet – this Sunday the winners will not necessarily be the fastest but will also score points for technical skill and decoration. Nil points!
