Bonjour and thanks
Yes I agree - history is such a fascinating subject that everyone ought to be interested in it, and probably would be if we didn't scare them off it at school. If you have any influence with the people who put together the national curriculum and could get 1000 Years on it, I would be extremely grateful, and so would my mortgage.
I am a big fan of rural France and have written about it both for the newspapers and in one of my novels. Have a look at the opening chapters of Merde Actually - it starts with a Correzian farce.
bon début d'année

My latest novel, The Merde Factor, is out now in a pocket paperback. Exactly the same text, less paper. Buy it and help save the Swedish rain forests.
Paul West is back in Paris, and back in the merde. His ex-girlfriend is stalking him, his business partner wants to rip him off, and his best friend won't stop reciting awful poems. Paul's only escape: to try and become a French civil servant. Not a good idea ...
Val says I had sent a tweet saying I enjoyed the book and history should have been like that at school.
