Fancy a sundowner?<\/figcaption><\/figure>Having lived here in France for a number of years I have undoubtedly picked up a few French habits.  My consumption of garlic and goat’s cheese are up, for sure and my Mum once reprimanded me over an irritating Gallic style shrug that I had unknowingly developed.  Some things remain mysterious though.  I’ve never enjoyed playing P\u00e9tanque or felt the urge to hurl my duvet out of the window on a fine day… or even overtake on a blind bend. <\/p>\n

When it comes to speaking French I happily babble away, using perhaps only three of the many possible tenses available to me.  I’ll never be mistaken for a native, or at least, so I thought.  <\/p>\n

One day, in a local supermarket I was waylaid by a chap who was selling wine.  He made it himself, locally and had somehow managed to wangle a pitch in the store.  We chatted for a bit about the wine and stuff.  He made his wine from the Gamay grape which always tastes sharp, with a hint of worn socks to me.  In a bid to avoid the imminent tasting I was going to have to endure I told him I much preferred beer and then he said…<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0You have an accent particulier, Madam?\u00a0\u00bb
\n\u00ab\u00a0Yes, I’m English.\u00a0\u00bb
\n\u00ab\u00a0Oh;I thought you must be from Brittany\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

This, I now realise, was French code for \u00ab\u00a0I thought you must be from Mars\u00a0\u00bb as Brittany is the furthest place away imaginable to a lot of locals who are not well travelled but I was secretly chuffed about his comment and bought two bottles, even though, I have to say, the wine was quite ghastly.  Only on the way home did I begin to suspect that perhaps he had flattered to deceive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
