And I've lived in France for almost two years now! And let me add there's nothing quite like dangling a potty-training two year old over one of those drains-with-grooves-toilets while your two month old is hanging in the Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479489443374383602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-84376786540601976452012-04-02T04:46:01.342-07:002012-04-02T04:46:01.342-07:00You wrote the post I've been wanting to write ...You wrote the post I've been wanting to write for the last year! It does seem so crude the ask for toilets, and I'm totally befuddled by the silly half glass on the shower. I was hoping to see more toilets with the tank up high with the hanging chain. They seem to have been phased out - such a shame - so quaint :) Great post for POTMC Club!Travel With Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646026064261601469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-63715585544073351142012-04-02T00:00:24.147-07:002012-04-02T00:00:24.147-07:00Selena you had me in stitches, fortunately without...Selena you had me in stitches, fortunately without a full bladder!<br /><br />I now have fair warning if I ever venture to the UK and will be sure to carry a few spare coins 'just in case'.<br /><br />Thank you for adding your selection to this month's 'POTM' Club offerings, it was a delight to meet you.<br /><br />Felicity xFelicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327661563449068137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-16993093140159351292012-03-16T02:45:47.207-07:002012-03-16T02:45:47.207-07:00I personally have a shower curtain (don't like...I personally have a shower curtain (don't like the glass screens), they're a European import as I remember, started seeing them in the late 1980's as they were seen as more "sophisticated" and "continental" than shower curtains!!Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160605471148194496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-16779606122252404982012-03-15T13:51:43.654-07:002012-03-15T13:51:43.654-07:00Hahaha a lot of people have those glass screens he...Hahaha a lot of people have those glass screens here in the UK ... is that common in your area ? I personally don't like them. You have to clean them a lot.

A real beauty in Romanesque architecture that was built in AD 1030. Still a "working" church, and a museum that houses some great things from that era (including a 1200-year-old bottle of wine (since converted to vinegar), art, and David Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09333846465836715634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893259165510823230.post-34466041216659647332012-03-13T12:05:30.086-07:002012-03-13T12:05:30.086-07:00This is hysterical!
