Greetings!

[Connie L]

Hi Connie,
Thanks for joining. We're a small but happy bunch here and between us we've come across most of the oddities of French life  
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, or to tell us if you've discovered something interesting.
Is your house in the town or one of the surrounding villages?

All the best,
Brian

Hi Brian, 
Thanks for the welcome! I am in town, near Place St Martial. This has been my first extended visit since my purchase late last year. 
So far so good - there are definitely some differences/oddities, but working it out.

Hoping to possibly connect in person with anyone interested/available  when I return in a few months.

A bientot!
Connie
