Takes place in Normandy close to Mont St. Michel. Bella is often cooking something and Marilyn (author) is publishing a book with the recipes in it. Not that the lapin recipe will be much good to me, never seen them - or at least not in this part of Canada.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-58272181825085162712013-12-03T13:40:53.650-05:002013-12-03T13:40:53.650-05:00I think Dame Judi Dench is a wonderful actress.

So... I'll have to check out Bella…a French Life. Sounds like something I'd enjoy, especially with all the French influence. And I think I remember seeing Maria Callas's memorial plaque in the columbarium at Père Lachaise the last time I visited...

However Christmas pudding and Christmas cake are sitting in a cupboard ready to be eaten. Not home made, don't bother any more.<br /><br />I wish you lived nearby too, one woman who lives in our building used to go with me, but she now has a boyfriend (she is a widow) so I am assuming she won't be available any more.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-82343122037445853272013-12-03T08:35:21.273-05:002013-12-03T08:35:21.273-05:00A French Life sounds interesting.

Congrats on the great bowling games - if I were there I'd go to the movies with you - I can never find a partner to go with me either.
