Musings from the Merse
Friday, March 24, 2006
St Germaine en Laye is famous as the birthplace of Claude Debussy in 1860 or so.
Here he is reclining in one of the main squares. Also for Le Grand Trou-a multistorey underground car park which is at the same state of holeness as it was when we were here four months ago. It was a hole when the Hutton Village Hall was a hole but now HVH is now a great building whilst the car park remains just a hole. So does that say something about the working practices and abilities of the French builders as compared with the Scots? Perhaps the Gang of About Four who have been working so hard to put up the hall may like to comment?
But where the French score heavily against the other half of the Ould Alliance is with cheese and with fish. Especially fish of the more exotic variety-click on image for full impact. Huttonian has never seen sea urchins au naturelle ready to eat. Saw off the top like a boiled egg and eat it raw. The fishmonger said that the taste was 'tres fort' We took his word for it, drew a line under it and moved on.
A bloggee has commented on the la toilette francaise-negligible sales of soap for example. But with a massive intake of garlic and world record sales of perfume soap is hardly necessary for musk masking purposes.
