We have sunshine this morning - finally, and the weeds are screaming at me. We are Americans living in the Vendee via Andorra and Ireland. After living in the mountains for 7 years we wanted flat land and gardens and now seriuosly regret it. To get away from the incredibly boring task of weeding, I started a cooking site last summer (re-did it this winter). Then realized that it was not the right place for my incredibly amusing stories so I started a blog 2 months ago. It's all a work in progress, but then so is life. Must go, sunshine has been very rare in the Vendee this winter...
