We live and learn

Hi Val

Well we live and learn! No matter how long you have studied French and lived
in France there are always things to learn. Having been gaily wishing
everyone Bonne Annee for several days now, I find that the French have a
little superstition which reminds me of my mum’s horror if anyone put up
their new calendar before January 1st. Apparently, it is bad luck to wish
anyone Bonne Annee until midnight tonight. So for the rest of the day it is
still Bonnes Fetes and nothing more.
So we will stay in English to wish you and Malc a Very Happy New Year 2016.
Hope you have a great time with your adopted family tonight
Love
L & S
