Dominique's Surprise Visit...7 December 2008

Today we had the unexpected pleasure of a visit from Dominique, our French teacher and her husband Luc and 2 children, Cyril and Fabien. We hadn’t met Dominique’s family yet. Well, Andrew and I were in a tiz let me say. We only just got back from Spain and put a load of washing on and unpacked our suitcase and speaking French was the last thing on our minds. It takes us a bit to get mentally tuned up with the parlez vous-ing française after an absence of a few days (especially since we'd been hearing espagnol for the last couple of days). Dominique and her husband both speak very good English (thank goodness) because conversation gets a tad ragged without abit of regular translation.
