What is it about Blogging? I resisted doing this for so long strongly believing that I had nothing really interesting to say( too true says my daughter!), and now I find it difficult to keep away from the keyboard.Is it a desire to show off,to exhibit one’s knowledge,to share one’s love of France with other people,or simply a pleasant way to pass the time in the depths of winter.Maybe a combination of all these things.

Anyway whenever I have my doubts about continuing I am comforted by the fact that I have, or had, only one reader(see Truffles galore) so I am not boring hundreds of people, and after all reading this stuff is not obligatory.
