How to Win Friends and Influence People!

Not much been going on in the village these last few days apart from two evening meetings for Christian (town planning and twinning. Nationally, of course, it's a different story with the race for the Legislative Assembly elections hotting up. The latest news making waves is that Hollane's partener has sent a supportive tweet to Ségolène Royale's rival, a dissident socialist. You may remember that Ségolène is Hollande's ex partner and the mother of their 4 children and he is supporting her. Comments have ranged from finding it positive that the President's new partner has a mind of her own to being disappointed that this new "first lady" should go against party thinking so publically so early on in Hollande's term of office.Have to say with the right gaining ground, the timing wasn't great and if only it wasn't his ex!
On the social side, Nicole came for tea and a chat. We're having restauarant withdrawl symptoms!
