Welcome to French Food Focus. The name describes
the intent of this blog. I'll focus on food and because I live in rural
France the stress will be upon French food. Not that I will limit myself
to food only. There are numerous posts concerning life in France, comments
on life in general and, certainly, opinions about anything that strikes my
fancy.
This is our village. Our house can be seen to the left of the picture.
We've decided to downsize. You can go to this
website for full details: OR If you'd like a vacation in France we rent out part of the house as a gite. Have a look here: www.camp-del-mas.com.

Bits & Pieces
No big topics of late, but a few snippets of
interest.
First, an on line film that I highly recommend. Its
called "The Butterfly Circus". As far as I know its only online, lasts
about 20 minutes, is beautifully filmed and is very moving.

Is the URL to find it. I'm definitely going to
explore more of the films made in this project. Its called The Doorpost
project and there seem to be a number of films done by independent
producers. Judging by "The Butterfly Circus" there could well be some real
gems! If you watch it please let me have your impressions & thoughts.
Of interest to me is the fact that I seem to have
cracked a major problem in my golf game. I've always been plagued by
topping the ball. I just wasn't consistent except off the tee where I was
not long, but reasonably straight and consistent. My fairway shots,
however, were too often pathetic topped efforts that didn't go far.
Spring seems to be with us at last. Or at least the
temperatures are up and the air feels balmy. That of course means
gardening; not my favorite occupation, but it must be done I guess. In
addition to cleaning up after Linda's pruning I cut our a big vine that
was chocking our walnut tree this morning. Hope it helps as both Rupert &
I love the walnuts so would hate to lost the tree.
Finally, I was interviewed for an American satellite
radio station the other day. It was fun, mostly about life in France & how
a Yank ended up here. Its supposed to be posted on the Internet as a
podcast soon. I'll let you have the link once I get it. Who knows maybe
I'll become a celebrity.
