France Here We Come!

5/5/2016

We're heading back to France. (Here’s why).
 
Initially I didn’t want to go, I wanted to see other parts of Europe. But we’ve found the rules and regulations in Belgium a little stifling.
 
So with our super-duper motorbike we’ll do some land travel between seeing parts of northern France on the boat, which are new to us.
 
We took a trip across the border to France the other day and it reawakened my love of the country and language.

I love that ‘boating’ in French is ‘Nautisme’
 
I like to think it is like:  ‘naughty is me’ or ‘I have a ‘naughty-isme!’
 
I love the language, it's poetry but I do struggle with deciding on whether things like tables and chairs are feminine or masculine!

But, of course, the wine helps!

We have enjoyed our winter in Belgium, it's been quite different from France, but safe, peaceful and with plenty of friendly folk. There are no real complaints…
 
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. William Arthur Ward
 
We're looking forward to practicing our French again - click here for some funny french phrases.
