I had seen some of your photography on a couple of other sites and when I got to your emergency soup today I copied the recipe and will try it in a few weeks when it turns cooler here.<br />But I wanted to comment on the quality of your photos. You have a great eye and you really capture the essence of Provence and bring something to it. I have visited that area several times and used it for a source of many watercolor paintings. I concentrate on Paris sites at the present time, but when my wife reaches early retirement, and our daughter finishes her last degree - will it ever happen? -we hope to return for extended periods of time to Provence.<br />I enjoyed your tour and look forward to many more photographs that bring back to my mind time well spent there.Richard Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838953031677203254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-45958466181996226022012-10-18T19:08:08.529+02:002012-10-18T19:08:08.529+02:00I could do with some emergency soup today...

I was a Goth in Pennsylvania just outside of Amish country beforehand--folks used to slow down in their cars and point at me--then poof! We moved to SC where there were guys in Zorro costumes strolling down the sidewalks! I was normal in comparison! :)<br /><br />Debra, ouch! Sorry to hear about your back but I know that you will be happy to have those storm windows up soon enough.

I did however see a charming article in the NY Times last weekend about Americans using such terms and I am not blind to the charms of other Anglophone terms. Can I blame it on Downtown Abbey?

I never even heard the word "chuffed" until Vicki Archer wrote it in an email (regarding, coincidentally enough, my offer to send her some photographs that I'd taken of HER dog and the formidable caretaker, "Gerard", at Mas Berard.<br /><br />In any case, I also love that word/phrase. Herve (who speaks 3 languages fluently and, so, should have had enough of picking up new ones) has taken up the habit of using it....as in "Oh, he'll so CHUFFED to hear about that!".<br /><br />Is it an Australian or a British term? I lived in England for four years, but that was at Oxford, where what-you-hear is by no means what the average/normal Englishman is saying on the streets.<br /><br /><br />----david terrydavid terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009130338123162371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-30759990276093585802012-10-17T23:52:05.633+02:002012-10-17T23:52:05.633+02:00Actually,Heather, Ijust recalled that the gobbledy...Actually,Heather, Ijust recalled that the gobbledy-gook is called "Dianetics", not "Diatonics".<br /><br />As I recall, "diatonics" are (as opposed to Mister Hubbard's musings) an actual, real thing.<br /><br />and, just to gossip?....I recently heard someone on the radio who said "I hadn't thought of it before now, but have you realized that Tom Cruise has divorced all three of his wives the year they've turned 33?

And as for the soup, I will definitely be making that, though I'm a little wimpy when it comes to spices.<br /><br />Glad to hear your cold is better. We are back to boots, jeans and sweaters here on the East Coast as well -- in fact we have already had a couple of night-time frosts here in Concord.
